Abstract

This chapter explores the application of the VIKOR method in deterministic and fuzzy modes, showcasing examples and discussing preference voting and data envelopment analysis. The integration of preference voting enhances decision-making by incorporating subjective judgments, while data envelopment analysis ensures the reliability and completeness of information. The chapter highlights the practicality and versatility of Fuzzy VIKOR and provides insights for future research in this field.
