A generalised fuzzy TOPSIS with improved closeness coefficient

作者：

Highlights：

• A versatile evaluation model suitable for fuzzy or interval-valued numbers.

• Works with or without subjective weights of criteria defined by evaluators.

• Improved closeness coefficient with the positive and negative distance weights.

• Relevant examples of additive manufacturing technology and material selection.

• Sensitivity analyses to assist managers in making more informed decisions.
