Decision-making from multiple uncertain experts: case of distribution center location selection

Novel Fuzzy Composite Indicators for Locating a Logistics Platform under Sustainability Perspectives

“…Indeed, with uncertainty, experts are generally unable to evaluate potential locations and to define the criteria weights, which underline the importance of fuzzy set theory in calculating the composite indicators [60]. Experts' uncertainty can also result when their preferences are often ambiguous and uncertain, which impacts the quality of the data resulting from their observations [8,61]. As decision-makers are unlikely to have full knowledge about all issues related to the choice of the location of a logistics platform, uncertainties need to be taken into account.…”

“…Support role for industry: The local government should establish appropriate policies to promote the development of its industry in logistics centers by taking sustainability into account [8,14,15]. Indeed, giving more support to one location by authorities, without considering the stakeholders' views, can influence the choice of location.…”
