This is an incremental simplification for researchers and practitioners in decision-making fields.
The paper tackles the complexity of Fuzzy TOPSIS by presenting a simplified description that distills essential concepts for understanding and applying it, with an example illustrating its use in multi-criteria group decision making.
A simplified description of Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation) is presented. We have adapted the TOPSIS description from existing Fuzzy theory literature and distilled the bare minimum concepts required for understanding and applying TOPSIS. An example has been worked out to illustrate the application of TOPSIS for a multi-criteria group decision making scenario.
