Application of two-tuples linguistic group decision-making method to the warehouse location problem

Considering that the factors affecting the warehouse location decision are difficult to quantify, the twotuples linguistic group decision-making method was used to analyze the warehouse location decision problem. At first, the location evaluation index system was established, the definition and aggregation operator of the method were analyzed, then the location decision procedure using two-tuples linguistic group decision-making method was designed. At last, an example with ten candidate locations was studied to illustrate the problem. The comprehensive evaluation value of the ten locations were calculated, the final warehouse location was determined via sorting the values. The result proved the effectiveness of the two-tuples linguistic group decision- making method.
