AB  - Decision-making techniques are used to select the "best" alternatives under 
      multiple and often conflicting criteria. Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) 
      necessitates to incorporate uncertainties in the decision-making process. The 
      major thrust of this article is to extend the framework proposed by Yager for 
      multiple decisionmakers and fuzzy utilities (payoffs). In addition, the concept 
      of expert credibility factor is introduced. The proposed approach is demonstrated 
      for an example of seismic risk management using a heuristic hierarchical 
      structure. A step-by-step formulation of the proposed approach is illustrated 
      using a hypothetical example and a three-story reinforced concrete building.
