Abstract

It is noted that all these previous decision methods of supplier selection can not solve the MAGDM problems with incomplete decision preference information. In fact, there always exists such situation that the decision maker (DM) feels comfortable to express his/her decision in terms of preference relation instead offering numerical quantification. This problem can be solved by using the LINMAP method.
