Abstract

The assessment of the weights of objective function plays an important role in a multi-objective process. This paper discusses a weighting method for linear fractional programming to solve possibilistic programming of the multi-objective decision-making problem. The minimal and maximal values of the objective function are utilized in the determination the weight value. This analysis concludes that it is worthwhile to pursue proposed solution approach to the multi-objective evaluation scheme, which addresses some limitation to determine the weight values.
