Abstract
In this present work, a new approach for ranking generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers has been introduced. This new proposed method is based on a left and right deviation and fuzzyness measure of the generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Some propositions have been introduced corresponding to the new proposed method. The proposed method has been compared with the different existing methods of ranking generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Also, it has been shown that the proposed technique succeeds in overcoming the drawbacks of the existing methods. The proposed method has been applied to a risk analysis problem in the selection of a production house by a retailer.
