Locational choice modelling using fuzzy decision tables

Proposes a method to solve qualitative locational choice problems using fuzzy decision tables as a matching model. Firstly, the technique of crisp decision tables is explained, and their use in locational choice problems is advocated. Subsequently, fuzzy extensions of decision tables are defined. Next, using a brief example, it is shown that fuzzy decision tables can be used efficiently for evaluating business location problems. The proposed method is supported by PROLOGA, an interactive rule-based design tool for decision table construction, optimization and manipulatio
