A novel group decision making model based on Interval neutrosophic sets for product modeling design quality evaluation

The energy consumption of mechanical products in China is enormous, and the energy utilization rate is low, which is increasingly receiving people’s attention. Conducting product design for energy optimization is of great significance for improving energy utilization efficiency. The scheme design of a product is the key to achieving innovation in product design, and the evaluation and decision-making of the design scheme directly affect the results of the later stage of the design. Therefore, correctly evaluating and making reliable decisions on product design schemes that are oriented towards fuzzy decision optimization is an important aspect of product innovation conceptual design. The product modeling design quality evaluation is a multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Recently, the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method and information entropy method has been employed to cope with MAGDM issues. The interval neutrosophic sets (INSs) are employed as a tool for portraying uncertain information during the product modeling design quality evaluation. In this paper, the CoCoSo method is designed for MAGDM under INSs. Then, the interval neutrosophic numbers CoCoSo (INN-CoCoSo) method based on the Hamming distance and Euclidean distance is built for MAGDM. The information Entropy method is employed to produce the weight information based on the Hamming distance and Euclidean distance under INNSs. Finally, a practical numerical example for product modeling design quality evaluation is supplied to show the INN-CoCoSo method. The main contributions of this paper are constructed: (1) This paper builds the novel MAGDM based on CoCoSo model under INSs; (2) The information Entropy method is employed to produce the weight information based on the Hamming distance and Euclidean distance under INNSs; (3) The new MAGDM method is proposed for product modeling design quality evaluation based on INN-CoCoSo.
