contents The selection of a facility location, which is a kind of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem, should be considered strategically. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and validate the application of the intuitionistic fuzzy VIKOR (IF-VIKOR) method to solve one problem of real-time location selection of facilities, in which the criteria values are described in exact (crisp) values form. Firstly, the decision matrix is fuzzified and then transformed into an intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix. The criteria weights are determined using the Intuitionistic fuzzy entropy weight method. Euclidean distance measure is used in this work. The ranking performance of IF- VIKOR is discussed and compared with the other conventional MCDM methods obtained by past researchers to assess the impact of the IF- VIKOR method. It is observed that the ranking largely remains unchanged in almost all the applied methods and the first two top alternatives exactly match with those as obtained by the past researchers. There exists a high Spearman's rank correlation coefficient value between IF-VIKOR method and other conventional methods. The comparative analysis, therefore, confirms that no matter the changes made to the MCDM method and weights of the criteria (crisp and/or IF set).
