Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the ideal of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (HFLWA) operator, hesitant fuzzy linguistic ordered weighted average (HFLOWA) operator and hesitant fuzzy linguistic hybrid average (HFLHA) operator. The prominent characteristic of these proposed operators are studied. Furthermore, we extend the hesitant fuzzy linguistic set to hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic set. Then, we have utilized these operators to develop some approaches to solve the hesitant fuzzy linguistic multiple attribute decision making problems for ERP systems selection. Finally, a practical example for ERP systems selection is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
