The score function is reduced the score function
proposed by Li ([47]) if = 0 and + 1.
Example 9. Let 1 = (0.5,0.2,0.6) and 2 =
(0.6,0.3,0.2) be two single valued neutrosophic
numbers for two alternatives. Then, by applying
Definition 8, we can obtain

In this case, we can say that alternative 2 is better

Here, the weight of each decision maker is calculated
taking into account the truth-membership value, the
indeterminacy-membership value and the falsitymembership value from them.
Step 2: Construction of aggregated single valued
neutrosophic decision matrix with respect to decision
makers.
To construct one group decision by aggregating all the
individual decisions, we need to obtain aggregated
single valued neutrosophic decision matrix . Here, it
is defined by = =1 , where = =

4. Numerical example
Assume that for supplier selection in a production
industry, four decision makers (DM) has been
appointed to evaluate 5 supplier alternatives
( ; 1, 2, . . . , 5) with respect to five performance
criteria such that delivery, quality, flexibility, service
and price. The decision-makers utilize a linguistic set
of weights to determine the performance of each
criterion. The information of weights provided to the
five criteria by the four decision makers are presented
in Table 3.
