Abstract
Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), which has been called a revolution in the field, is one of the most exact methods for making decisions. Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) is the process of selecting options by considering multiple criteria to determine which is best. A multitude of applications in engineering, design, and finance are possible with the tools and methods derived from MCDM. Application-oriented problems with multiple criteria involve ambiguous and more inaccurate options, to deal with this ambiguity Smarandache introduced Treesoft sets, which are an extension of hypersoft sets. So, in this paper, we will consider a real-life application-oriented problem “Desalination process” under the treesoft sets environment and find the best method for desalination using one of the MCDM methods.
