Abstract
Multi-criteria decision making is a state of decision making that we encounter in all areas of life. Many decisions we make in daily life contain more than one criterion. Decision making becomes more difficult as the number of criteria increases. Therefore, decision making in business and/or real life is complex and difficult. One reason for difficulty in a decision making is the subjective opinion of the decision maker. In addition, not only numerical values are used but also linguistic data can be taken into account when making a decision.
In order to reduce subjectivity and digitize linguistic expressions, fuzzy logic approach, which has been used in many fields in recent years, can be used. In the scope of the study, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are expressed as extensions of fuzzy sets, will be used. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets explain that membership degree of set is important, but non-membership degree of set is also important as well. In this study, intuitionistic fuzzy sets will be used for an example decision-making problem, and the results will be compared by proposing a novel ranking method. Thus, a novel ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy sets will be introduced to the literature.
