The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is widely used as a multi-criteria decision-making method in practical applications. Several researchers have expanded the AHP method to D numbers AHP (D-AHP) to apply AHP to an uncertain decision-making environment. D numbers is an extension of the Dempster–Shafer (D–S) theory, which overcomes the shortcomings of the D–S theory and can effectively express uncertain information. With the deepening of research on the AHP method, the best–worst method (BWM) was proposed as an improvement to the AHP method. The BWM can lower the inconsistency in results and reduce the number of required pairwise comparisons. Although some researchers have extended the BWM method to an uncertain environment and proposed fuzzy BWM methods, these methods cannot handle some special situations, such as when the subjective evaluations of experts are …
