Location of medical warehouse applying BBTOPSIS based multi-criteria decision making with basic uncertain information.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a combination of Basic Uncertain Information (BUI) and a Bag Based Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (BBTOPSIS), which is further applied to multi-attribute decision making (MADM) with BUI. To realize the decision process, a novel comparison law is developed to derive the superiority, inferiority and noninferiority multi-attribute canonical fuzzy bags. Mathematical properties of the developed comparison law is discussed. Besides, to extend traditional TOPSIS method in BUI, a novel distance measure between BUI is also introduced, which is composed by distance between transformed intervals and similarity between BUI. Superiority of the developed distance measure is illustrated. Finally, a decision algorithm is presented to solve MADM with BUI by using the developed BBTOPSIS under BUI. A numerical example on location of medical warehouse is presented to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the developed decision method.
