Abstract

In this paper, we extend the VIKOR method (Serbian name: VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje, means multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution) to solve multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) with bipolar fuzzy environment. Firstly, the bipolar fuzzy set concept is described. Then, proposed the VIKOR strategy in bipolar set environment to handle MCDM problems. Finally, two numerical examples illustrate an application of BF-VIKOR method, and analysis the results of different values of the decision making weights of criteria on ranking order of the alternatives.
