In such cases, the use of fuzzy methods have been successfully applied to multi-criteria decision methods in which the ranking of fuzzy quantities is crucial for the decision analysis. This paper aims to introduce a new approach to \MCDA\ problems defined under fuzzy contexts that implements the concept of acceptability analysis, Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Acceptability Analysis (FMAA), based on the Fuzzy Rank Acceptability Analysis (FRAA), that provides a ranking and a confidence degree about the ranking of fuzzy quantities. Based on the fuzzy extension of \MAVT\ method, the \FMAA\ is implemented and then applied to a case study, and its results are compared with other well-known \MCDA\ methods in order to show its validity, interpretability and consistency.}, year = {2017}, journal = {Expert Systems with Applications}, volume = {84}, pages = {262-271}, issn = {0957-4174}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0957417417303214}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2017.05.005}, }
