Piecewise linear value functions for multi-criteria decision-making
作者：
Highlights：
• Monotonicity assumption in multi-criteria decision-making may lead to wrong results.
• A family of value functions is proposed which can be used for decision criteria.
• Real-world examples are provided to show the applicability of the proposed functions.
• A supplier selection example shows considering the functions affects the final results.
• The functions can be embedded into different multi-criteria decision-making methods.
