An approach using defuzzifying methods is proposed for the fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making problem. The computational effectiveness and efficiency of six defuzzifying methods combined with the simple additive weighting method are evaluated based on a comparison with the improved fuzzy weighted average followed by four fuzzy ranking methods. Numerical examples are discussed to demonstrate the implementation and effectiveness of the methods.
