Fuzzy SIWEC — Fuzzy Simple Weight Calculation (F-SIWEC)
FUZZY-SIWEC (Fuzzy SIWEC — Fuzzy Simple Weight Calculation (F-SIWEC)) is a weight subjective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Puška, A. Nedeljković, M. Pamučar, D. Božanić, D. Simić, V. in 2024. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

When to use it
Higher w̃_j modal = more important criterion. Fuzzy weights can be passed directly to fuzzy ranking methods (F-RAWEC, F-TOPSIS, F-VIKOR, etc.) without defuzzification. For crisp downstream methods, defuzzify using centroid or (l+4m+u)/6.
Strengths & limitations
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
- Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
- Results depend on the chosen normalisation, weights, and parameter settings.
