Abstract
In Multi Criteria Decision Making with linguistic variables, the DMs may have vague information, limited attention and different information processing capabilities. This paper proposes a new fuzzy decision making method which allows fuzzy preferences in linguistic terms for alternative selection. The approach is computationally simple and its underlying concept is logical and comprehensible, thus facilitating its implementation in a computer-based system.
