Abstract

This chapter has had a brief overview of multi-criteria decision making methods for operations management, especially for complex decision-making and complex system analysis, and the main content of each chapter has been introduced: a two-stage interval best-worst method based on the multiplicative constraint was developed in Chap. 2, 2-tupe DEMATEL (decision making trial and evaluation laboratory) was introduced in Chap. 3, fuzzy best-worst network method combined with ISM was proposed for analyzing the complex systems was illustrated in Chap. 4, and a multi-stakeholder intuitionistic fuzzy multi-criteria decision making method was presented in Chap. 5. Typical problems about complex decision-making and complex system analysis were investigated to show the applicability of these advanced operations management methods.
