Abstract

A new computer code package, Interactive Fuzzy Decision Analysis (IFDA) is developed based on Fuzzy Set theory. The package utilizes, as input, verbal rating and weights for each criteria and subcriteria. IFDA handles problems in which either criteria and subcriteria or only criteria are given. The output is given in a tabulated or graphical form. The IFDA is developed on an HP-3000 Computer and HP-7221 B plotter. However, the package may be used on any other computer. To use this package, the maximum allowed number of alternatives is 20 and only 20 criteria can be selected, while the maximum number of points of a membership function are 15. The application of IFDA is illustrated by examples to show the capabilities of the package
