From the perspective of each evaluation criterion, any decision alternative is evaluated by means of trapezoidal ordered fuzzy numbers (TrOFN). This approach is justified in the way that some criteria are linguistically evaluated. In this paper, decision alternatives are evaluated using oriented fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting (OF-SAW) scoring function. The ranking of alternatives may be defined by means of a nonincreasing sequence of defuzzified values of a scoring function. Any defuzzification procedure distorts ordered fuzzy numbers in a way that information on imprecision and orientation is lost. This undermines the credibility of the determined alternatives’ ranking. The main purpose of this paper is to avoid the defuzzification stage in the OF-SAW method. Thus, the OF-SAW method is equipped with fuzzy scoring order. This OF-SAW method is described as a negotiation scoring system. We study an empirical example of the OF-SAW application and rank some negotiation offers. Here, we focus on the effects of replacing the defuzzified scoring function by a fuzzy one. The obtained conclusions are generalized for the case of any decision alternatives.

We examine some aspects of the use of Simple Additive Weighting method to evaluate decision alternatives. Decision alternative attributes may be evaluated by verbal assessments which by their nature are imprecise. This means that for the purposes of Simple Additive Weighting method, any verbal assessment is represented by a fuzzy number being an imprecise approximation of a number. In this paper, all verbal assessments are represented by ordered fuzzy numbers. This approach is justified in the way that any ordered fuzzy number is additionally equipped with orientation, i.e., information about the location of the approximated number. The family of all ordered fuzzy numbers is divided into centrally symmetric families of positively oriented fuzzy numbers and of negatively oriented fuzzy numbers. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the consequences of omitting orientation of criterion ratings. We restrict all considerations to the case of trapezoidal oriented fuzzy numbers. We prove the mathematical theorem that an orientation omission can result in an increase in risk when choosing the right decision alternative. We study an empirical example of the Simple Additive Weighting method application to rank some negotiation offers. From the discussion, it follows that an orientation omission results in an increase in risk.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the application potential of ordered fuzzy numbers (OFN) to support evaluation of negotiation offers. The Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods are extended to the case when linguistic evaluations are represented by OFN. We study the applicability of OFN for linguistic evaluation negotiation options and also provide the theoretical foundations of SAW and TOPSIS for constructing a scoring function for negotiation offers. We show that the proposed framework allows us to represent the negotiation information in a more direct and adequate way, especially in ill-structured negotiation problems, allows for holistic evaluation of negotiation offers, and produces consistent rankings, even though new packages are added or removed. An example is presented in order to demonstrate the usefulness of presented fuzzy numerical approach in evaluation of negotiation offers.

In this paper, a method based on prospect theory is proposed to solve the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem with three formats of attribute aspirations. According to the idea of prospect theory, reference points concerning attributes are first determined. Then, for the three formats of attribute aspirations, the calculation formulae of alternatives' gains/losses concerning attributes are given. By calculating each alternative's gain/loss, a gain–loss matrix is constructed. Further, using the value function from prospect theory and the simple additive weighting method, the overall prospect value of each alternative is calculated. Based on the obtained overall prospect values, a ranking of alternatives can be determined. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate the use of the proposed method.

Over the years, banks have faced many difficulties, related mainly to lax credit standards for borrowers and counterparties. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the volume of credit risk at acceptable level as it is a vital feature in risk management. Credit analysts take into consideration factors of a wider spectrum, e.g., the prospects of the line of business, the experience of board members, credibility of suppliers, etc. Those factors are often considered on the linguistic scale, which includes such imprecise and inaccurate phrases, for instance, such as: more/less experienced, better/worse prospects, etc., which, for the experts and decision makers, are justified and result from their personal experience, preferences and human nature. The paper presents the approach of supporting methods in the credit risk decision-making process. It presents evaluation scales of imprecise phrases commonly used during the process of credit risk assessment based on experts’ preferences. Due to the imprecision, the oriented fuzzy numbers are a useful tool. For such described evaluation scales, we use a scoring function determined with the use of an adapted Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method.

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a type of freshwater fish consumption with elongated and flattened body shape laterally and blackish white color. Tilapia originated from the Nile River and surrounding lakes. Now this fish has spread to countries on five continents with tropical and subtropical climates. Whereas in cold climates, tilapia cannot live well. ideal water temperature in tilapia enlargement ponds ranges between 27.7-29.3 ° C, where fish will grow optimally at water temperatures around 25-32 ° C.for the pH of the tilapia enlargement ponds range between 6, 4-8.5 and turbidity range of 3-19 NTU, because this high turbidity level has an effect on the amount of tilapia mortality. With the system that the researchers created, it was easier to determine a suitable fish pond to maintain as a life of tilapia with the help of the Internet of Things network system and reduce the failure rate in breeding and implementation of Thingspeak as a platform to display the results of data obtained by sensors and calculated with method calculation. This system takes data with temperature sensors, pH and Turbidity, to find water temperature, acidity and alkalinity in water and turbidity of water. Then the data obtained is sent to the ESP8266 module network and sent to the thingspeak platform, the data that appears is inputted into the database to be processed using the SAW method, the results of the SAW method calculation are displayed by the system. Implementation of the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) Method for Detecting the Feasibility of Iot-Based Fish Ponds (Internet of Things) has been successfully implemented. So that it can rank tilapia ponds based on parameters of temperature, pH, turbidity.

<p>The Sea Beach Cahaya is one of the rising beach attractions in Kendal Regency, Central Java. In general, the tourism object of The Sea Pantai Cahaya still does not use many computer systems in their daily lives. As with tourism ticket purchases and also entrance tickets, vehicles that still use ticket paper as proof of payment, it is often disrupted if it is still fussing with the queue conditions and questions by visitors. On the other hand, report data collection is still considered slow.</p><p>One way to overcome the above problems is to make a ticket payment system that is computerized using the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method, replace paper tickets with a card model and also use the network to shorten report generation.</p>

Majors are part of higher education institutions that a very important role determining the thesis student supervisor . At the Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MIPA) the determination of the thesis supervisor is carried out through a lecturer meeting based on its title in accordance with the competence of the lecturer who will guide, regardless of the number of lecturers' workload or the number of students being supervised. The results of the decision of the meeting to determine the supervisors will be announced to students after the meeting is held. This flow inefficient and may lead to ineffective determination of the supervisor . The final result of the system shows that the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method can be applied to determine the weight value of each attribute so as to produce a ranking of each alternative lecture who will be selected as a student supervisor for the thesis according to the result of computerized and accurate calculations.
