Abstract
This study aims to propose a decision-making approach combining multi-criteria analysis and fuzzy logic within the online analytical processing data cube model (OLAP). Indeed, most decision-making systems are based on models of operational research. These models are often composed of quantitative data and postulate the existence of a single objective function (criterion) representing the preferences of decision-makers. However, in reality, we are faced with a more complex situation where several criteria (quantitative and/or qualitative) should be taken into account. It is therefore natural to consider different types of data (more criteria) in the design of OLAP cubes and decision-making systems. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) combined with fuzzy sets theory offers an efficient approach to solve complex decision problems. So we believe it is useful and necessary to envisage, for OLAP cubes, an optimized data model taking into account several criteria, on which we can apply new methods of MCDA. We end our contribution by applying the decision support process of this paper to propose a scheme of green logistics for large industrial zones in the city of Casablanca, Morocco.
