A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model for Pontoon Bridge Selection: An Application of the DIBR II-NWBM-FF MAIRCA Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In military operations, the proficient overcoming of water barriers is paramount, with sub-optimal execution potentially leading to significant human and equipment casualties. In this context, global armed forces accord considerable emphasis to the selection of appropriate mechanisms for water obstacle overcoming. This study elucidates the adoption of a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach for the selection of optimal pontoon bridge sets for military applications. Criteria identification was undertaken by seven distinguished experts, leading to the determination of weight coefficients using the Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked criteria II (DIBR II) method. Expert assessments were subsequently aggregated utilizing the Normalized Weighted Bonferroni Mean (NWBM) operator. The Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA) method, operationalized within the Fermatean Fuzzy (FF) environment, was harnessed for the discernment of the best alternative. An analysis of the sensitivity of the study's findings with respect to variations in criteria weighting, coupled with a comparative exploration, led to the inference that the proposed MCDM model boasts stability. However, it was noted that the model exhibits sensitivity to shifts in criteria weight coefficients, underscoring its utility as a valuable aid for decision-makers, especially in the domain of pontoon bridge set selection.
