A procedure is proposed to solve the multiple attributes and multiple hierarchical system under fuzzy environment. The approach is based on: (1) fuzzy representation, (2) hierarchical performance evaluation structure, (3) gradient eigenvector method for rating the fuzzy criteria weighting, and (4) using the max-min paired elimination method for aggregation. To illustrative the approach, an example on the evaluation of teaching performance in higher education is solved.
