ABSTRACT: In order to solve a number of real decision-making problems, over time, a number of multiple criteria decision-making methods have been proposed. The EDAS method is one of the newly proposed methods; its computational procedure can be identified as innovative and also based on verified approaches. An extension of the EDAS method adapted for the use of grey numbers is considered in this paper.

KEYWORDS: EDAS, MCDM, uncertainty, grey systems, interval grey numbers.
