Table 11 Comparison of the proposed method with existing intuitionistic fuzzy MADM approaches based on professional indicators.

From: A novel intuitionistic fuzzy Yager aggregation framework for decision making in green supply chains

Professional Indicator

Existing IF-MADM Methods

Proposed Yager-based IF-MADM Framework

Uncertainty modelling capability

Partial representation of uncertainty; hesitation often weakly incorporated (3,4,23)

Explicit modelling of membership, non-membership, and hesitation

Aggregation flexibility

Fixed or limited aggregation behaviour (5,13,18)

Parameterized aggregation mechanism

Criteria weighting approach

Subjective or predefined weights (3,6,26)

Objective entropy-based weighting

Theoretical soundness

Limited or partial axiomatic validation (4,23,27)

Comprehensive axiomatic verification

Decision stability

Moderate sensitivity to aggregation operators (23,24)

Stable and consistent ranking results

Practical applicability

Application-specific decision contexts (21,22,23,26)

Suitable for sustainability-oriented MADM problems
