Abstract
Many decision-making problems such as quality control analysis, market surveys
or sensory analysis require ordered qualitative scales, rather than numerical
ones. It is very common to assign some cardinal mathematical objects, such as
numerical values, intervals of real numbers or fuzzy numbers, to the linguistic
terms of ordered qualitative scales. However, when agents perceive that the
psychological proximity between each pair of consecutive terms of the scale is
not identical, these conversions are meaningless and an ordinal approach to deal
with these non-uniform ordered qualitative scales is more appropriate. The aim
of this paper is to introduce an ordinal multi-criteria decision-making procedure
for ranking alternatives in the setting of ordered qualitative scales that are nonnecessarily
uniform. The possibility of doubt is also considered, by allowing
agents to assign two consecutive terms of the scale when they hesitate. The
proposed procedure is applied to a real case study in which nine experts assessed
eight wines regarding different criteria.
