4.1. Selection of a Sustainable Material Handling Equipment by Using LDFSRSs
- “Technical: convenience, maintainability, safety required” means that the alternative is “highly technical” or may be “low”.
- “Monetary: setting up and operational cost, maintenance cost, purchasing cost” means that the alternative may be “expansive” or “inexpensive”.
- “Operational: fuel consumption, moving speed, capacity” means that the alternative is “highly operational” or may be “low”.
- “Strategic: flexibility, level of training required, guarantee” means that the alternative is “highly strategic” or may be “low”.

Concepts | Remarks |
---|---|
Fuzzy set [46] | It only deals with the truth values of objects. |
Rough set [55] | It only deal with the vagueness of input data. |
Soft set [56] | It only deal with the uncertainties under parameterizations. |
Intuitionistic fuzzy set [47] | It cannot be applied if for some . |
Pythagorean fuzzy set [49,50,51] | It cannot be applied if for some . |
q-rung orthopair fuzzy set [52,53] | It cannot be applied for smaller values of “q” with |
or if for some . | |
LDFS [54] | (1) It can deal with all the cases in which FS, IFS, PFS, and q-ROFS |
cannot be applied; (2) it involves a parameterization perspective | |
and works under the influence of reference or control parameters; (3) satisfaction | |
and dissatisfaction degrees can be chosen freely from . | |
LDFSS (proposed) | It contains all the properties of LDFS with the addition of multi-valued |
parameterizations to deal with the uncertainties in a parametric manner. | |
LDFSRS (proposed) | It contains all the properties of LDFSS with the addition of upper |
and lower approximations to deal with the roughness of input data | |
under the effect of “LDFS approximation space”. | |
SRLDFS (proposed) | It contains all the properties of LDFSS with the addition of upper |
and lower approximations to deal with the roughness of input data | |
under the effect of “crisp soft approximation space”. |
