Decision-making using COPRAS method with linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and Hamy mean operators
摘要
The application of linguistic variables plays a crucial role in processing qualitative information for mathematical modeling and decision-making under uncertainty. The linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy (Lq-ROF) set, an advanced linguistic fuzzy framework, provides enhanced flexibility in decision-making problems that involve qualitative data by incorporating the rung parameter q. This study introduces four classes of Lq-ROF Hamy mean operators: the Lq-ROF Hamy mean operator, the Lq-ROF dual Hamy mean operator, the Lq-ROF weighted Hamy mean operator, and the Lq-ROF weighted dual Hamy mean operator, and investigates their fundamental properties. Additionally, the complex proportional assessment of alternatives (COPRAS) method is extended with Lq-ROF sets, presenting a novel approach for multi-attribute group decision-making under Lq-ROF information. The proposed framework is demonstrated through a case study on selecting an AI-based predictive maintenance system for manufacturing. The stability and effectiveness of the method are verified through parameter analysis and comparative evaluation with existing approaches.
