Abstract
Linguistic Fuzzy Decision network (LFDN) method is an extension of Fuzzy Decision Map (FDM) for solving Multi-Criteria Decision Making problems (MCDM) in fuzzy environment having dependence and feedback among criteria. On the other hand, LFDN can’t handle the complex decision making problem, particularly with the multi-level hierarchical structure model that consists of objectives, criteria, sub-criteria, etc. down to the bottom level (alternatives). The main objective of this paper is to develop the LFDN structure to be able to select a decision for multi-level structure problems. So the multi-level structure of LFDN is the general form of LFDN. Therefore, it can use for ranking alternatives and selecting the best one when the decision maker has multiple criteria. A case study was carried out to demonstrate the proposed model.
