This paper presents a reformulation of MCC models for GDM problems using the Fuzzy Set Theory. The proposed fuzzy-based MCC (FZZ-MCC) framework offers a clearer understanding of MCC models and their extensions, as well as a rigorous and flexible methodology for addressing various types of GDM problems. The applicability of the FZZ-MCC framework is demonstrated through three practical examples related to e-democracy, personnel selection, and green supplier selection.}, year = {2023}, journal = {Computers & Industrial Engineering}, volume = {181}, pages = {109295}, issn = {0360-8352}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360835223003194}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cie.2023.109295}, }
