Multi-Criteria Decision Making

ABSTRACT. This article presents the evaluation of Technological Projects (TP) of innovation in a transnational company of the automotive industry located in Cd Juarez -Mexico with de purpose of selection the best project through the diffuse intuitionist TOPSIS technique. The alternatives are the projects in the production areas of tube bending (A1), tube flaring (A2) and riveting of tube (A3) in the line of plastic harnesses /vacuum line used in the transmission of the car. Therefore, experts are integrated into a work team and express their opinions in linguistic terms represented by intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The criteria established for the evaluation ere: the initial investment (x1), the increase in production (x2), the period of recovery of the investment (x3), the execution capacity (x4), the ecological impact (x5) and the experience of the suppliers (x6). The technique based on the six established criteria, shows that the project A2 tube flared is the best option for the company to carry out the technological innovation project. Keywords: Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS, technological project.
