Abstract
Decision making when more than one evaluation scheme exists has become a major concern of scientists and decision analysts during the last decade. In the numerous models and methods suggested in the literature in this area it is, however, assumed that the criteria as well as the solution psace can be crisply defined. It will be shown how these problems can be solved if either criteria or solution spaces or both are fuzzy. In addition approaches will be presented in which crisp multi criteria problems can be solved efficiently by applying fuzzy set theory.
