Sumario:Mamdani fuzzy inference system has been widely used for potential risk modelling and management. The decision-making is usually provided by multiple experts in the field. The conflicting information in sources from different experts become an open issue and has attracted some researchers to investigate further. Various risk factors in a project caused difficulties for decision makers to make reliable decisions on the whole project since it involves ambiguities, vagueness, and fuzziness. The introduction of the fuzzy inference system to the evaluation of construction risk is capable in explaining its reasoning process and, hence, overcoming such problems. Risk factors under the project management risk were identified through literature sources and from the opinion of experts. It is found that the likelihood and severity of risk is somehow interlinked with the concept of fuzzy theory. For model input and output linguistics variables, the triangular membership function was selected. The methodology employs a fuzzy aggregation system in which an appropriate control action can be determined by the acquisition of expert judgment. A total of 23 rules with logical OR operator, truncation implication, and Mean of Maxima (MoM) method for defuzzification were used to create an effective fuzzy model intended for making decisions. The framework determines the relationship between input and output parameters in if-then rules or mathematical functions using an effective fuzzy arithmetic operator. The study addresses the principle issues of multiexpert opinions based on Mamdani-type decision system and the illustrative example taken from one of medium-sized project held in Malaysia’s construction industry. By comparing with other experimental results, we verify the rationality and reliability of the proposed method.
