The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is well suited to dealing with vagueness. Recently, intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been used to build soft decision making models that can accommodate imprecise information, and two solution concepts about the intuitionistic fuzzy core and the consensus winner for group decision making have also been developed by other researchers using intuitionistic fuzzy sets. However, it seems that there is little investigation on multicriteria and/or group decision making using intuitionistic fuzzy sets with multiple criteria being explicitly taken into account. In this paper, multiattribute decision making using intuitionistic fuzzy sets is investigated, in which multiple criteria are explicitly considered, several linear programming models are constructed to generate optimal weights for attributes, and the corresponding decision making methods have also been proposed. Feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are illustrated using a numerical example.
