Abstract: This work presents a new fuzzy multiple attributes decision-making (FMADM) approach, i.e., fuzzy simple additive weighting system (FSAWS), for solving facility location selection problems by using objective/subjective attributes under group decision-making (GDM) conditions. The proposed system integrates fuzzy set theory (FST), the factor rating system (FRS) and simple additive weighting (SAW) to evaluate facility locations alternatives. The FSAWS is applied to deal with both qualitative and quantitative dimensions. The FSAWS process considers the importance of each decision-maker, and the total scores for alternative locations are then derived by homo/heterogeneous group of decision-makers. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the procedure of the proposed FSAWS.
