Abstract
A variety types of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems occur in our daily life, such as investment decision making, project appraisal, maintenance and repair services, weapon system performance evaluation, plant siting, tendering and bidding, and comprehensive evaluation of economic benefits, etc. (Wang and Fu, 1993).
