Summary

Introduction

Distribution center location selection plays an important role for reducing the transportation cost, enforcing operation efficiency and logistic performance for distribution companies (Chen, 2001). The values for the locations are difficult to obtain with certainty due to the complexity and ambiguity of the decision environment. This paper aims to propose a new TOPSIS approach based on SVCNS in order to support for distribution center location selection and evaluation process. The importance weights of decision criteria and the ratings of qualitative criteria are assessed in linguistic variables which are described by complex neutrosophic sets. This paper assesses and evaluates the importance weights of criteria, the ratings of alternatives, and their aggregated values using SVCNSs. the score, accuracy and certainty function are developed to rank the alternatives.
