In this paper, the concept based on entropy analysis is proposed. To determine the attribute weights under the conditions that the attribute weights are completely unknown. Furthermore, in order to make a decision or choose the optimum alternative, Using entropy analysis method attribute weights are completely known. To take a decision or choose optimal alternative we proposed the vertex distance method and calculate closeness for obtaining best ideal alternative solution. Compare this method using Additive Utility Function to check the feasibility and validity of the proposed study. Finally, a numerical example has been provided to illustrate the solution procedure on the proposed method.
