Abstract
Multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has been widely
investigated and successfully applied to many fields, owing
to its great capability of modeling the process of actual
decision-making problems and establishing proper evaluation
and assessment mechanisms. With the development
of management and economics, real-world decision-making
problems are becoming diversified and complicated to an
increasing extent, especially within a changeable
and unpredictable environment. Multi-criteria decision making is a decision-making technique that explicitly evaluates numerous contradictory criteria. TOPSIS is a well-known multi-criteria decision-making process. The goal of this research is to use TOPSIS to solve MCDM problems in a Pythagorean fuzzy environment. The distance between two Pythagorean fuzzy numbers is utilised to create the model using the spherical distance measure. To construct a ranking order of alternatives and determine the best one, the revised index approach is utilised. Finally, we look at a set of MCDM problems to show how the proposed method and approach work in practise. In addition, it shows comparative data from the relative closeness and updated index methods.
