Abstract: This paper describes a ranking method for ordering fuzzy numbers based on area, mode, spreads and weights of generalized fuzzy numbers. The area used in this method is obtained from the generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number, first by splitting the generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers into three plane figures and then calculating the centroids of each plane figure followed by the centroid of these centroids and then finding the area of this centroid from origin which is a process of defuzzification proposed in this paper. This method is simple in evaluation and can rank various types of fuzzy numbers and also crisp numbers which are considered to be a special case of fuzzy numbers.

Keywords:  Ranking function; centroid points; generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
