CONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION MODEL USING FUZZY SETS

Contractor prequalification makes it possible to admit for tendering only competent contractors. The undertaken decisions demand taking into consideration many criteria, including among others, experience and financial standing of the candidates. It is often difficult to be quantified. The objectives of the construction owner in a given project are also meaningful. All these factors cause difficulties in working out a mathematical prequalification model. In the paper a model based on fuzzy sets theory is proposed. It takes into consideration both different criteria, objectives and evaluations of numerous decision - makers. To illustrate the model operation a simple numerical example is presented.
