Selecting Multiple Evaluator’s Perception-Oriented Relevant Physical Features of Consumer Goods by Using Fuzzy Data Sensitivity and OWA Operators

The assessment of goods quality using experts is costly task in addition to their often unavailability. In this paper, we present a new method for ranking physical features of consumer goods according to their relevancy to multiple evaluators’ perception at different levels and selecting the most im...

description The assessment of goods quality using experts is costly task in addition to their often unavailability. In this paper, we present a new method for ranking physical features of consumer goods according to their relevancy to multiple evaluators’ perception at different levels and selecting the most important ones for quality characterization. The main contribution of the paper is combining of fuzzy method and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators to achieve our aim. The proposed selection method, considered as a Multi-Evaluators and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (ME-MCDM) technique, has been developed using fuzzy sensitivity (FS) criterion for ranking and OWA operator to aggregate the aforementioned ranking lists. Finally, by introducing a smart percolation technique we get automatically the most relevant physical features for a given sensory descriptor. The suggested approach is applied to a selection problem of textile physical features.
