Abstract

In this study, we propose a new approach based on fuzzy TODIM (Portuguese acronym for interactive and multicriteria decision‐making) for decision‐making problems in uncertain environments. Our method incorporates group utility and individual regret, which are often ignored in traditional multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) methods. To enhance the analysis and application of fuzzy sets in decision‐making processes, we introduce novel entropy and distance measures for q‐rung picture fuzzy sets. These measures include an entropy measure based on the sine function and a distance measure derived from the Jensen‐Shannon divergence. In our methodology, incorporating the sine function into the entropy measure stands out as a distinctive decision, grounded in a profound understanding of the inherent characteristics of fuzzy sets. Utilizing the sine function proves especially advantageous when handling fuzzy sets that exhibit cyclical variations or fluctuations in their membership degrees. We effectively weight the criteria for an improved evaluation by using this new entropy measure. The introduced distance measure finds application in the TODIM approach, allowing the execution of TODIM method steps within a fuzzy environment until the determination of one alternative’s dominance over another—an advancement beyond traditional approaches. We apply our enhanced fuzzy TODIM method to a real‐life construction project management problem from the literature and compare the results with those in the literature and obtained from other MCDM methods. Our proposed measures are robust, as demonstrated by the sensitivity analysis that varied the weights of group utility and individual regret, with the results visualized in a 3D sensitivity plot. The findings demonstrate the superiority of our method in providing a more comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, making it a useful tool for decision‐makers facing complex and uncertain decision‐making problems.
