A hybrid fuzzy integral decision-making model for locating manufacturing centers in China: A case study

This study presents a hybrid fuzzy integral decision-making model that integrates factor analysis, interpretive structural modeling, Markov chain, fuzzy integral and the simple additive weighted method for selecting locations of high-tech manufacturing centers in China. The analytical results of this case study demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model for solving fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making problems, especially when criteria are interdependent. Further, the empirical study brings out some properties that are crucial for high-tech manufacturing centers to invest in China.
