Abstract

Decision-making is one of the crucial processes in all operations. As the concept comprises many complexities and impreciseness, there is a need for systematic approaches. This need drives many multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies in the literature. The outranking methods are one of the classifications of these methodologies, which utilizes binary comparisons to rank the alternatives. Elimination and Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) is one of the most useful outranking MCDM approaches. Since most decision-making processes require linguistic decision terms and the fuzzy sets are generally accepted as great expressers of linguistic terms, researchers have offered various fuzzy extensions of MCDM methods and ELECTRE methods. This study aims to provide a comprehensive literature review regarding the fuzzy extensions of the ELECTRE methods.
