Abstract: In case that the information on weight and attribute are both completely unknown and the decision-makers can only sequence all the alternatives in accordance to the same index, a rapid decision-making method is proposed at the low cost. An idea named the number of sequential advantage is presented, then the virtual attribute values are formed, which don't affect the sequenced results. With the virtual attribute values used, a method to approximate to ideal points(TOPSIS) is applied to framing the weight of virtual decision-making index, and the values in all alternatives are aggregated and sequenced via the virtual attribute values and the weight. A numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the method proposed.
