Methodology
Lets consider the problem of ranking m alternatives (Ai ; i = 1, 2, . . . ,m)by a decision maker (DM). DM wish to rank m alternatives with the helpof information supplied by n experts (Ej ; j = 1, 2, . . . , n) on each of Kcriteria (Ck ; k = 1, 2, . . . ,K ). DM wish to find which from alternativessatisfy criteria the best.

Methodology – weights estimation
The average of fuzzy numbers across all the experts:
q̃k = (1/n) � ( ˜ck1 ⊕ ˜ck2 ⊕ . . .⊕ ˜ckn) (1)
where � and ⊕ are fuzzy multiplication and addition, respectively

Methodology – fuzzy rank score matrix
For each criteria, rank the degree of satisfiability for each system withrespect to each criteria item by integer numbers 1, 2, . . . , etc:
A =
C1 C2 . . . Cn
A1 p̃11 p̃12 . . . p̃1nA2 p̃21 p̃22 . . . p̃2n...

Methodology – ranking alternatives
Perform following operations:
R = A�W T =
p̃11 � w̃1 ⊕ p̃12 � w̃2 ⊕ . . .⊕ p̃1n � w̃n
p̃21 � w̃1 ⊕ p̃22 � w̃2 ⊕ . . .⊕ p̃2n � w̃n...
˜pm1 � w̃1 ⊕ ˜pm2 � w̃2 ⊕ . . .⊕ ˜pmn � w̃n
