The MULTIMOORA method is developed using interval numbers based on fuzzy logic concept and a novel preference technique to deal with complex uncertain problems. By utilizing the fuzzy concept and considering relative weights for attributes, assessment values are obtained for subordinate parts of the interval weighted MULTIMOORA. We suggest an interval comparison matrix to calculate aggregate preference as an index to find the interval maximal objective reference point vector and rank the assessment values of the interval weighted ratio system and the full multiplicative form. The theory of dominance is employed to consolidate the subordinate ranks into the final ranking. Because of the reasonable assumption of alternative ratings as interval numbers in industrial problems and straightforward mathematics of the interval weighted MULTIMOORA, the proposed method can be effectively utilized by decision makers. A case study regarding materials selection of power gears is solved using the proposed method. Our final ranking for the practical case is verified with two interval-based and several crisp MADM methods. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
