Abstract: In recent years, global market competition leads companies to invest in R&D projects. Therefore, the selection of R&D projects constitutes an important part of project management in order to achieve the desired results and outputs. In this study, a hierarchical fuzzy multi-criteria decision making method was applied to determine the most suitable R&D project of a firm working in the machinery manufacturing sector in Turkey. The project selection criteria were divided into six main classes as technological, environmental, marketing, organizational, national benefits and financial issues. Related project selection methodology was applied to eight projects.
