Abstract
To address the situation where Multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems with hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference relations (HFLPRs), this study introduces a group decision-making (GDM) method in view of the worst additive consistency index (WACI) and average additive consistency index (AACI) simultaneously. First, several optimization models are constructed for deriving the WACI and AACI. The main characteristic of the constructed optimization models is that it takes into accounted the personalized individual semantics (PISs). And then the concept of acceptable additive consistent HFLPRs is developed based on the proposed WACI and AACI. Second, several optimization models are constructed for improving the consistency of HFLPRs. Two predefined thresholds for the WACI and AACI are considered in the proposed optimization models. It requires the consistency levels of all the linguistic preference relations (LPRs) associated with HFLPR meet the threshold of WACI, and the average consistency level of all LPRs reaches the threshold of AACI. Third, an algorithm is designed for deriving priority weights from acceptable consistent HFLPRs. Finally, the presented models are validated using a numerical example and extensive comparative analyses.
