| description | Fuzzy set theory has extensively employed various divergence measure methods to quantify distinctions between two elements. The primary objective of this study is to introduce a generalized divergence measure integrated into the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach. Given the inherent uncertainty and ambiguity in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) scenarios, the concept of the fuzzy α-cut is leveraged. This allows experts to establish a broader spectrum of rankings, accommodating fluctuations in their confidence levels. To produce consistent criteria weights with the existence of outliers, the fuzzy Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) is employed. To showcase the viability and effectiveness of the proposed approach, a quantitative illustration is provided through a staff performance review. In this context, the findings are compared with other MCDM methodologies, considering correlation coefficients and CPU time. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique aligns with current distance measure approaches, with all correlation coefficient values exceeding 0.9. Notably, the proposed method also boasts the shortest CPU time when compared to alternative divergence measure methodologies. As a result, it becomes evident that the proposed technique yields more sensible and practical results compared to its counterparts in this category. |
