Abstract
The objective of any decision-making method in a plithogenic environment is to make an optimal ranking of the alternatives subjected to core essential criteria. The preference for plithogenic decision-making methods is gaining momentum in recent times as plithogenic representations are more comprehensive and efficient in handling uncertain and imprecise decision-making data. In this paper, a plithogenic CRITIC-MAIRCA decision-making model is developed and applied to decision-making on livestock feeding stuff. A total of 20 alternatives under three major feed categories of green fodder, subsidiary fodder and concentrate feed are ranked using MAIRCA (The Multi Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) method and the criterion weights are determined using the method of CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation). The final results of the plithogenic ranking are compared with fuzzy and crisp ranking methods and it is observed that the plithogenic CRITIC-MAIRCA method is highly efficient in making a feasible ranking.
