Abstract

The fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) problem can be solved using a variety of techniques, one of which is FTOPSIS (Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). FTOPSIS are widely used to handle uncertainty in complex evaluation problems where linguistic judgments are involved. The linguistic values are used to determine all of the criterion fuzzy weights and alternative values in FTOPSIS method. The main aim of this paper is utilizing the generalized fuzzy TOPSIS approach to assess the current status and trends of the food processing industry in Odisha. It seeks to invest the money in different food processing industry for industry's growth and development. The results of the food processing industry have been described using the generalized FTOPSIS method. The best food processing industry can be identified using this method based on various criteria. The recommended method is compared to the suggested method to determine its effectiveness. We solve the FMCDM problem using generalized FTOPSIS approach, for greater efficiency. Moreover, engaging with industrial firms can enhance the decision-making process by identifying the most appropriate and effective alternative.
