The aim of this paper is to develop a multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) with picture fuzzy sets based on ELECTRE TRI method, i.e., an ELECTRE TRI based group decision making with picture fuzzy information is given. The MAGDM with picture fuzzy information based on picture fuzzy ELECTRE TRI outranking method is divided into three stages, i.e., the group decision information aggregation stage, determination of parameters and ELECTRE TRI outranking based outranking stage. A novel comparison law for picture fuzzy sets is introduced. In the group decision information aggregation stage, the concept of picture fuzzy normalized weighted Bonferroni mean (PFNWBM) is developed. The developed decision procedure is further applied to the assessment of energy security. The numerical example shows that the developed group decision procedure is feasible and valid.
