Despite VIKOR presents important advantages regarding other techniques for decision situations, it may result in a situation where an alternative with high measures for most criteria and low value for one criterion is not chosen as the optimal alternative. Thus, VIKOR may lead to unreasonable and inconsistent results and cannot present true situation of alternatives in indices’ list. The goal of this paper is to present an improved extended version of interval type-2 fuzzy VIKOR (IT2FVIKOR) method for relieving the drawbacks of usual IT2FVIKOR. The proposed indices present more continuous and logical values than prior one such that better ranking results obtain for the MCDM problems. In order to demonstrate effectuality of the suggested method, a case study and an illustrative example are performed. Eventually, the extracted ranking upshots are analyzed with the others.}, year = {2023}, journal = {Knowledge-Based Systems}, volume = {280}, pages = {111055}, issn = {0950-7051}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950705123008055}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knosys.2023.111055}, }
