This paper investigates the multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problem with preference information on alternatives. A new method is proposed to solve the MADM problem, where the decision maker (DM) gives his/her preference on alternatives in a fuzzy relation. To reflect the DM's subjective preference information, a linear goal programming model is constructed to determine the weight vector of attributes and then to rank the alternatives. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the use of the proposed method.
