This paper presents a multi-criteria group decision making approach for effectively evaluating the performance of e-waste recycling programs under uncertainty in an organization. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used for adequately representing the subjective and imprecise assessments of the decision makers in evaluating the relative importance of evaluation criteria and the performance of individual e-waste recycling programs with respect to individual criteria in a given situation. An interactive fuzzy multi-criteria decision making algorithm is developed for facilitating consensus building in a group decision making environment to ensure that all the interest of individual decision makers have been appropriately considered in evaluating alternative e-waste recycling programs with respect to their corporate sustainability performance. The developed algorithm is then incorporated into a multi-criteria decision support system for making the overall performance evaluation process effectively and simple to use. Such a multi-criteria decision making system adequately provides organizations with a proactive mechanism for incorporating the concept of corporate sustainability into their regular planning decisions and business practices. An example is presented for demonstrating the applicability of the proposed approach in evaluating the performance of e-waste recycling programs in organizations.
本文提出了一种多准则群体决策方法，用于在组织中不确定的情况下有效地评估电子废物回收计划的绩效。直觉模糊数用于充分表示决策者在评估评估标准的相对重要性和个别电子废物回收计划相对于个别标准在给定情况下的绩效时的主观和不精确评估。开发了一种交互式模糊多准则决策算法，以促进群体决策环境中的共识建立，以确保在评估替代电子废物回收计划时，所有个别决策者的利益都能得到适当考虑，以实现其企业可持续性绩效。然后，将开发的算法纳入多准则决策支持系统，以有效地进行整体绩效评估并使其易于使用。这样的多准则决策系统为组织提供了一个主动机制，将企业可持续性的概念纳入其常规规划决策和业务实践中。本文提供了一个实例，演示了在评估组织中电子废物回收计划的绩效时应用所提出方法的适用性。
