An example scenario is presented to demonstrate the evaluation and prioritization of projects based on seven specific criteria. The CRITIC method is applied, allowing decision-makers to assess the relative importance of each criterion and make informed decisions regarding project selection. Subsequently, the chapter introduces the fuzzy extension of the CRITIC method. The algorithm of the fuzzy CRITIC is explained in detail, highlighting the utilization of fuzzy data to represent uncertain and imprecise information in decision-making. To illustrate the application of the fuzzy CRITIC method, a case study is presented involving the search for an optimal location for a solar farm. Fuzzy trapezoidal data is utilized to capture the inherent uncertainty associated with various location factors. The combination of theoretical explanations, algorithmic discussions, and practical examples offers a comprehensive understanding of the fuzzy CRITIC method's potential for decision-making in complex and uncertain environments. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBook Chapter11213093242-s2.0-8518467100610.1007/978-3-031-44742-6_13N/A
