Abstract
In this article, we expose the theory of q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) sets (q-ROFSs), which is the robust improvement of concepts of fuzzy sets (FSs) and intuitionistic FSs. The q-ROFS is an advanced framework that permits decision-makers to evaluate complex and unpredictable information during the decision-making process. The Hamy mean (HM) models are more powerful and effective aggregation models used to reduce the impact of different attributes and express correlation among different objects. We discussed the basic operations of Aczel Alsina operations under consideration of q-ROF environments. Some new strategies proposed by exploring the theory of Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions based on HM models, such as q-ROF Aczel Alsina Hamy mean (q-ROFAAHM) and q-ROF Aczel Alsina weighted Hamy mean (q-ROFAAWHM) operators. We also present a list of new approaches under consideration of the Dual Hamy mean (DHM) model, such as q-ROF Aczel Alsina Dual Hamy mean (q-ROFAADHM) and q-ROF Aczel Alsina weighted Dual Hamy mean (q-ROFAAWDHM) operators. Some flexible and reliable properties of our derived approaches are also discussed. A multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) technique is a relatively advanced decision-making approach which is utilized to evaluate reliable optimal options by the decision maker. An appropriate algorithm for a MAGDM problem is also presented to reveal the robustness of our derived approaches. To show the flexibility and consistency of our discussed approaches, we study a practical example to choose the best option. To show the applicability and feasibility of currently discussed methodologies, we contrast the results of previously proposed aggregation operators (AOs) with the results of new methodologies.

Introduction
A strategy for selecting the most perfect alternatives from a range of available possibilities is known as the MAGDM problem. We constantly make decisions; thus, choosing choices is a normal part of life. Due to the unexpected nature of decision-making (DM) issues and the fuzziness of DM circumstances, MAGDM aims to help decision-makers deal with multifaceted challenges. In 1965 Zadeh

Novelty and contributions of this presentation
By studying the structure of existing environments of FSs, IFSs, and PyFSs, we observed that q-ROFS is a more effective and robust environment of a fuzzy system. A q-ROFS explored by restricted constraints of the total sum of MV and NMV less or equal to a unit. All mathematical expressions of triangular norms, such as algebraic sum and algebraic product, Einstein aggregation expressions, Dombi aggregation expressions, Frank aggregation tools, and so on. There are many aggregation models like Muirhead mean, Maclaurin symmetric mean, Bonferroni mean and Heronian mean models, But Hamy mean models are superior to all the above-discussed aggregation models. The theory of HM tools is used to overcome the impact of negative information and define correlation among different input arguments. The Aczel Alsina aggregation operations are well-known operational rules by expanded the theory of triangular norms. Recently numerous researchers utilized the concepts of Aczel Alsina aggregation operations and presented a lot of number strategies under consideration in different fuzzy environments. By inspiring the effectiveness and intensity of Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions, we exposed some new approaches under consideration of q-ROF environments. On the other hand, the main contribution of this article is defined as follows:
To explore the notion of q-ROFSs and their related necessary operations. We expose the theoretical concepts of HM models with certain properties under consideration of q-ROF information. To illustrate and show the robustness of Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions with the support of numerical examples. By the generalizing idea of HM models, we derived some well-known aggregation approaches under consideration of q-ROF information such as q-ROFAAWHM and q-ROFAAWDHM operators. We also presented a series of new strategies using DHM models’ properties, including q-ROFAAWDHM and q-ROFAAWDHM operators. Some flexible properties and special cases also show the reliability and robustness of our derived methodologies. A MAGDM approach is also employed to identify a reasonable optimal car purchasing supplier. By using an algorithm of a MAGDM technique and currently derived approaches, we assess the best suppliers based on certain criteria. To find the trustworthiness and achievability of the designed work, we talked about a few numerical examples based on q-ROF data. In comparison technique, we evaluate how well our operators stack up against those that are currently in place. We present a comprehensive description of these comparisons’ conclusions, highlighting the benefits of using these proposed operators.

Section 2 illustrates the basic concepts of q-ROFSs, the theory of comparison technique, and their related fundamental operations. Some well-known operations of Aczel Alsina aggregation tools under consideration in q-ROF environments are also discussed in section 3.

In 2020, as COVID-19 started to spread, a lot of companies and businesses closed, which affected the world's supply chain. Axios reports that 75% of US companies experienced supply chain disruptions at the beginning of the pandemic. According to the World Bank, the pandemic has also resulted in a 50% decline in profits for a fifth of enterprises. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates that during the beginning of the epidemic, 1.4 million manufacturing jobs were lost in the United States. Global supply chain disruption has been exacerbated by geopolitical crises like the US-China trade war.
Supply chain enterprises play a critical role in driving the economic growth of any country. These enterprises, ranging from raw material suppliers to manufacturers, logistics providers, and distributors, form the backbone of trade and commerce. By optimizing the flow of goods and services, they help in the efficient utilization of resources, foster competitiveness, and innovation, and contribute to overall national wealth. Supply chain enterprises are essential for reducing the costs of goods and services. By streamlining production processes, optimizing inventory management, and improving transportation logistics, these companies help reduce wastage, time delays, and inefficiencies. The lower production costs lead to lower prices for consumers and greater profitability for businesses, which can then be reinvested into the economy. Efficient supply chains also reduce bottlenecks, enabling faster and smoother movement of goods across borders, which stimulates trade and drives economic activity.
Supply chain enterprises enable global trade by facilitating the movement of goods across borders. International trade is often governed by efficient supply chains that ensure goods are sourced, manufactured, and delivered globally in a timely manner. Countries that have strong supply chain networks can capitalize on global market opportunities, attract foreign investment, and participate in international markets, which can significantly contribute to their GDP growth. Supply chain enterprises generate employment opportunities at various levels, from low-skilled jobs in warehousing and transportation to high-skilled roles in logistics management, IT, and supply chain analytics. A strong and efficient supply chain industry thus contributes directly to job creation and income generation, which has a multiplier effect on the broader economy by increasing purchasing power and consumption.
The need for supply chain optimization pushes firms to innovate and develop new technologies. For example, advancements in logistics, such as the use of artificial intelligence, blockchain for tracking, and automation in warehouses, have revolutionized supply chains. This fosters greater competitiveness among enterprises and entire industries, as companies that can streamline operations and improve product delivery tend to outperform their competitors. As innovation drives efficiencies, it indirectly supports economic growth by improving productivity. A well-functioning supply chain ecosystem supports the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing them with infrastructure, resources, and networks to scale. Supply chains can help SMEs access larger markets, both locally and internationally, by allowing them to tap into established networks of suppliers, distributors, and retailers. This not only aids their survival but fosters the growth of local businesses, contributing to overall economic diversification.
The development of supply chains encourages infrastructure improvement, such as the construction of roads, ports, and warehouses, which can stimulate broader economic growth. As industries such as logistics, warehousing, and transportation expand, countries see significant investments in infrastructure. These infrastructure improvements not only benefit the supply chain enterprises themselves but also create a ripple effect on other sectors, such as construction, energy, and retail. Supply chain enterprises, especially in essential sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and energy, provide the stability required for economic growth. During times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, strong and resilient supply chains ensure the continuous flow of essential goods and services. Countries with robust supply chains are better equipped to withstand shocks to their economy, as the supply of critical goods and services is maintained, thus ensuring economic stability.

This section demonstrates the impact of different parametric values on the MAGDM problem.

One of the most important and effective methods for determining the best optimal form for choosing preferences is to use a decision-making strategy. To study the potential and efficacy of proposed approaches, we compare our invented work with already presented methodologies. For this, we applied some existing AOs seen in63,72,73 on q-ROF information listed in Tables 2–4.

The advantages and compatibility of our derived approaches are described as follows:
After examining the score values of existing approaches shown in Table 11, we concluded that our invented approaches are more applicable and effective. The theoretic concepts of Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions provide a more prominent and smooth approximation. Our derived methodologies have an extensive capability to solve real-life problems which are discussed in,63,67,72,73,74 But developed methodologies cannot solve the application of daily life seen in.11,14,28,29 We also exposed the geometrical behavior of obtained score values by existing approaches in Figure 7.

One of the most difficult tasks in multidisciplinary research is the precise integration of uncertain information as well as preferences. The MAGDM technique is widely used in different fields of life and is also applied to solve an application of real-life challenges under imprecision and vagueness in the information. In this article, we exposed the theoretic concepts of Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions under q-ROF information. The Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions provide a more appropriate and smooth approximation during the aggregation process. Furthermore, HM and DHM operators are dual to each other and are used to define the relationship among various types of attributes. Using fundamental operations of Aczel Alsina AOs, we developed mathematical methodologies of q-ROF context such as q-ROFAAHM, q-ROFAAWHM, q-ROFAADHM and q-ROFAAWDHM operators. A few properties and special cases also verified the compatibility and effectiveness of AOs. An algorithm of a MAGDM technique is also proposed to show the robustness of our derived methodologies. By utilizing the presented algorithm under our derived approaches, we exposed a numerical example to choose a reasonable option from a group of alternatives. To determine the intensity and feasibility of our derived approaches, we proposed a strong comparison technique to contrast the results of existing approaches with the results of currently discussed AOs.
We discussed many advantages and features of derived methodologies and decision-making techniques. However, we can overlook the limitations and restrictions of proposed approaches. The q-ROFS failed when experts discussed more than two aspects of human opinions neutral and refusal grades as well as MVs and NMVs. To handle such situations, we can expand pioneered approaches to picture fuzzy systems, spherical and t-spherical fuzzy sets. In the future, we will prolong our derived approaches in the framework of spherical fuzzy sets 75 with Aczel Alsina aggregation expressions. Furthermore, we will also explore our derived approaches under the system of Linear Diophantine FSs, 76 investigate unknown weights using entropy measures, 77 complex picture fuzzy framework 78 and complex q-ROF information. 79 Advanced decision-making techniques may also discussed to resolve real-life applications and numerical examples using TOPSIS, EDAS, MARCOS and WASPAS methods.
