NEUTROSOPHIC NUMBERS OF UNIQUE VALUE AND HIERARCHICAL ANALYTICAL PROCESS FOR PROJECT DISCRIMINATION

Abstract

Neutrosophic sets and their application in support of decision-making have become a topic of paramount importance. In this document, a new model for decision-making is presented for the selection of projects based on single-value neutrosophic numbers (SVN numbers) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP). The proposed framework consists of five activities: reference framework, criteria weighting, information gathering, classification of alternatives and project selection. The project alternatives are classified according to the aggregation operator and the classification of the alternatives is based on the scoring and precision functions. The AHP method that allows a correct weighting of the different criteria involved is included. In addition, the common decision resolution scheme is used to help decision makers reach a reliable decision by providing methodological support. A case study is developed showing the applicability of the proposal for the selection of information technology projects. Further works will focus on extending the proposal for group decision making and developing a software tool.
