Abstract

Choosing sustainable electronic device is a growing concern among the peoples of Bangladesh. A perfect choice can reduce the Cost as well as sufferings. In this paper, we have considered four smart phone manufacturing company corresponding four major features such as Android version, Battery power, RAM and Cost which is characterized by weighted value under fuzzy consideration to find a sustainable device. This selection is illustrated by modified TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method for normalizing the given data. TOPSIS is one of the numerical methods of the multi-criteria decisions making (MCDM), which is a broadly applicable method with a simple mathematical model. Furthermore, the numerical analysis suggests that, modified TOPSIS method could be very effective to find a sustainable device which can also be cost effective for the peoples of Bangladesh.
