Abstract :
Many methods for ranking fuzzy numbers have been proposed. The existing methods for ranking generalized
fuzzy numbers based on the optimistic index () gives dierent values for comparing the numbers by using
dierent values of the optimistic index () and it is the shortcoming of this method. So we introduce a new
defuzzication using a crisp number for ordering and comparing the fuzzy numbers. The calculation of the
proposed method is simpler and easier in comparison the other methods and it provides the correct ordering
of generalized fuzzy numbers. It is shown that the proposed modication satises all the reasonable properties
of fuzzy quantities (I) and (II) proposed by X. Wang, E. E. Kerre
