Extended Version of Linguistic Picture Fuzzy TOPSIS Method and Its Applications in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

The main objective of the proposed research in this paper is introducing an extended version of the linguistic picture fuzzy TOPSIS technique and then solving the problems in enterprise resource planning systems. In this article, we use the uncertain information in terms of linguistic picture fuzzy numbers; the decision maker provides membership, neutral, and nonmembership fuzzy linguistic terms to represent uncertain assessments information of alternatives in linguistic multicriteria decision making (LMCDMs). In order to introduce the extended version of TOPSIS method, we defined a new hamming distance measure between two linguistic picture fuzzy numbers. Further, we apply the proposed method to problem of enterprise resource planning systems and discuss numerical implementation of the proposed method of LMCDM.
