This study focuses on a new perspective which the interaction between attribute shall be considered and proposes a new approach that integrating IPA into another complex problem analysis technique - impact matrix cross-reference multiplication applied to a classification - to achieve more convenient calculation and application. Its contribution and innovation are mainly measuring the interaction between attribute and effectively quantifying the integration of IPA model; may modify the importance and the performance of attribute by influence degree and dependence degree; and integrating the Fuzzy theory to make the assessment results more accurate.
