In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the geometric aggregation operators with interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the ideal of traditional geometric operation, we have developed some geometric aggregation operators for aggregating interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted geometric (IVDHFLWG) operator, interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic ordered weighted geometric (IVDHFLOWG) operator and Interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic hybrid geometric(IVDHFLHG) operator. Then, we have utilized these operators to develop some approaches to solve the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic multiple attribute decision making problems. Finally, a practical example for risk evaluation of the logistics outsourcing service providers in the engineering material procurement is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
