A Novel Soft Theoretic AHP Model for Project Management in Multi-criteria Decision Making Problem

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics ((PROMS,volume 125))

Abstract

The present paper introduces a model of decision-making problem in multicriteria optimization domain for project management. The model is built by combining the fuzzy soft set theory and analytical hierarchical model. The later is the well-known method of ranking the alternatives for multicriteria decision-making problem. The ultimate project selection is the best of many decisions associated with project management. Here we illustrate the hybrid method by means of an application of the new mathematical model of soft set theory.
