Abstract

Fuzzy logic has been widely used combined with Multi Criteria Decision Making techniques in different application. Here we propose to aggregate fuzzy opinions with a mathematical model, in order to minimize discordances. An illustrative example treating closed loop agriculture Supply Chain is given.
