Decision-making process is the selection of the most appropriate one among the alternatives. Different selection criteria are considered in the decision-making process. Simultaneous assessment of different evaluation criteria may not always be possible. Multi-criteria decision-making techniques provide an easily applicable mathematical solution in this respect. Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is one of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques. This method is used in many problems in literature and allows multiple decision makers to choose the most suitable alternative by evaluating them together with different criteria. Assessments of decision makers may include linguistic statements. In this case, the Fuzzy Logic approach can be used. In this chapter, Fuzzy TOPSIS method is explained with a detailed numerical example.

The aim of this study is to compare the economic performance of Turkish Republics in Central Asia with Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. Turkish Republics have been experiencing a transition from a centrally planned economy towards a market economy since their independence. In this study important macroeconomic indicators are used to determine economic performance. Economic performance evaluation of the country is an important issue for economic management, investors, creditors and stock investors. Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method outranks the countries according to the proximity of the positive ideal solution and distance of the negative ideal solution. Economic Performance of Turkish Republics in Central Asia (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan) are compared with TOPSIS method. İnvestigated with TOPSIS method countries best and worst economic performance years are detected during mentioned period and results are analyzed.

Stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) are methods for evaluating alternatives with multiple criteria. SMAA is a method that is used for solving multi-criteria decision-making problems with uncertain, inaccurate information, and does not require preference information from the decision makers. The TOPSIS method is based on the principle of determining a solution with the shortest distance to the ideal solution and the greatest distance from the negative-ideal solution. This paper proposes a new method, SMAA-TOPSIS, by combining the SMAA and TOPSIS methods. The SMAA-TOPSIS method was executed for two problems: drug benefit-risk analysis and machine gun selection. This paper found that TOPSIS could be used with uncertain and arbitrarily distributed values for weights and criteria measurements by using a combination of SMAA and TOPSIS. Also, we obtained clearer and consistent SMAA outputs.


The most famous method when dealing with decision making is Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). One of the easiest technique from MCDM is Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS). However, there are some circumstances in FTOPSIS still needs to be enhanced. Therefore, this paper concentrates on: 1) to develop FTOPSIS with Z-number and α -cut based MCDM problem; the combination of Z-Number and α-cut is seen suitable to solve uncertainty issue due to the additional restriction and reliability parts; 2) to validate the propose method for solving smoking problems in Jordan; three decision makers which are parent, student and health organization are requested to answer all the questionnaires based on smoking behaviour problems. The study presents six steps of FTOPSIS with Z-numbers and αcut to verify the position of the smoking behaviour; 3) to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method using 10 different number of α-cut. Ten different numbers are 0.1 till 0.9. Results illustrate that many Jordanian smoke because they want to lose their weight. From the study, this proposed method opens a new revolution in MCDM area to provide different ways when dealing with decision making problems. Thus, give us variety of techniques in decision making area.


Corn is a staple food ingredient, one of the areas where people consume corn instead of rice is Southeast Sulawesi. Qualified corn is one of the superior seeds, while some types of superior corn are hybrid corn and composite corn. The TOPSIS method is one of the multi criteria decision-making methods with simple concepts and efficient competition and has the ability to measure relative performance and alternative decisions in mathematical form. To make it easier to find qualified corn, the Technique for Order preference method is used. Similarity to Ideal Solution. This is facilitating corn farmers to choose good and productive corn crop quality, applying the TOPSIS method (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) in determining quality, to help provide alternatives in m determine qualified corn plants. Based on the results of research conducted on 10 qualified corn alternatives that had been tested, a result is obtained: V1 = 0.577350 V2 = 0.474992 V3 = 0.510529 V4 = 0.463630 V5 = 0.609622 V6 = 0.435983 V7 = 0.533048 V8 = 0.373977 V9 = 0.530333 V10 = 0.448275 From the results it can be concluded that V5 = 0.609622 had fulfilled the requirements and can be said to be good qualified corn.

In this paper, we define the new idea of triangular cubic hesitant fuzzy number (TCHFN). We discuss some basic operational laws of triangular cubic hesitant fuzzy number and hamming distance of TCHFNs. We introduce the new concept of triangular cubic hesitant TOPSIS method. Furthermore, we extend the classical cubic hesitant the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method to solve the Multi-Criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on triangular cubic hesitant TOPSIS method. The new ranking method for TCHFNs is used to rank the alternatives. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify and demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This research was conducted to test the application of the Technique Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method in the decision-making process of choosing tourist destinations in East Java. This research is motivated by the problems faced by the Jakarta Backpacker Community who often have difficulty in making choices about tourist destinations to be visited in East Java. The criteria used in this study are cost, destination, meeting point, trip length and facilities obtained. The results of this study indicate that The TOPSIS method and the SAW Method can be used for the decision-making process in the selection of tourist destinations in East Java, with the results of Explore Baluran and Menjangan being the most recommended choices as the primary choice. Besides, it is also known that there is a match between the TOPSIS and SAW methods, with the calculation results using the TOPSIS method that is 0.64 and the calculation using the SAW method is 0.86 as the highest calculated value. So as such, these two methods can be stated equally well used in the process of determining tourist destinations in East Java. However, this applies only to the highest value, because for the order of two and so on, the results of calculations on these two methods show differences in rank.

This study evaluated the ranking of comprehensibility of the pictograms for judo, taekwondo, boxing, and wrestling used in the six games from the 27th Sydney Olympics in 2000 to the 32nd Tokyo Olympics in 2021. The evaluation was done using the Fuzzy TOPSIS method, one of the multi-criteria decision-making methodologies commonly used in economics and others fields. The results are as follows. The first, pictograms from the 2008 Beijing Olympics ranked first in three sports: taekwondo, boxing, and wrestling, but there were no pictograms that consistently ranked first or sixth in all sports. Second, the result of the sensitivity analysis shows a possibility that the ranking will be reversed if the weight of the evaluation factors changes, but in the 1000-time repetitive prediction, the better the evaluation ranking, the closer the value of the priority ranking to the ideal solution on average even if the weight changes.
