Decision making requires adequate consideration of uncertainty in projects. In this paper, in order to address uncertainty of project environments, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) are used. In other words, the rating of each alternative and weight of each criterion are expressed by IT2FSs. Moreover, for obtaining weights of criteria, interval type-2 fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is employed. In addition, a new enhanced model of multi-objective optimization on the basis of simple ratio analysis (MOOSRA) method is developed with IT2F-relative preference relation. Finally, to illustrate applicability of the introduced approach, an existing application from literature is adopted and solved. %U https://www.ije.ir/article_73015_4267ac0efda17ac0ca1f9d07c6702507.pdf
