Abstract
Plithogenic based decision making approaches are more versatile and accommodative with regard to attribute handling This paper introduces the concepts of Plithogenic Forest hypersoft set (PFHS) and develops a Plithogenic centered decision-making model with PFHS representations. The Plithogenic method of devising decisions based on contradictions is integrated with the newly introduced representations of PFHS to develop a robust decision-making technique to deal with attributes and sub-attributive values at a larger scale. The integrated method proposed in this work is applied to a decision-making problem of site selection for establishing manufacturing plants. The core attributes are identified and the respective Plithogenic forest hypersoft sets are constructed with the possible sub-attributes. In this case, each of the core attributes itself forms a Plithogenic tree hypersoft set representations with several sub-attribute values, the alternatives are subjected to each of the criteria to determine the optimal ranking in specific to the criteria. Also, aggregate score values are determined to obtain a more comprehensive ranking. The concept of PFHS shall be integrated with other decision-making methods to evolve novel methods of decision-making.
