Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making and its Applications: A Brief Review of Category

Abstract Multi criteria decision making was introduced in the early seventies along side with the inception of fuzzy set theory. The theory has been fitted well with the decision making thereby innovates many novel methods of fuzzy multi criteria decision making. This paper presents a brief review of category in fuzzy multi criteria decision making and describes some of its earliest and recent applications. Several real life applications were presented to offer a glimpse of category in fuzzy multi criteria decision making and its applications.
