Evaluation of the Security of Coal Enterprises in China Based on a New Fuzzy Linguistic Decision Making Method

Coal industry, as a type of basic energy is a significant foundation of the development of economy in China. The risk problem of coal enterprises has been attracting the attentions of our society and business. So, how to assess the security or risk of coal enterprises is a hot topic in academic and practical fields. In this paper, we propose a new multiple attribute group decision making method to assess the security of coal enterprises. Firstly, based on the existing studies, the factors that may influence this problem are selected. Secondly, a new fuzzy linguistic method is developed based on fuzzy linguistic representation model related to distribution assessments. Finally, an illustrative example is introduced to verify the applicability of this proposed method in solving the problem of evaluation of the security of coal enterprises.
