This paper proposes an integrated approach to group decision making with interval fuzzy preference relations using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic simulation. A novel output-oriented CCR DEA model is proposed to obtain the priority vector for the consistency fuzzy preference relation, in which each of the alternatives is viewed as a decision-making unit. Meanwhile, we design a consistency adjustment algorithm for the inconsistent fuzzy preference relation. Furthermore, we build an optimization model to get the weights of each fuzzy preference relation based on maximizing group consensus. Then, an input-oriented DEA model is introduced to obtain the final priority vector of the alternatives. Finally, a stochastic group preference analysis method is developed by analyzing the judgments space, which is carried out by Monte Carlo simulation. A numerical example demonstrates that the proposed method is effective.
