New method is presented for ranking the alternatives based on a kind of fuzzy judgement matrix about the alternatives provided by the decision maker. The structure of the fuzzy judgement matrix and its meanings are explained. A linear goal programming model is proposed based on the fuzzy judgement matrix and the model is solved to obtain ranking values of the alternatives. In the model, the rank of alternatives reflects the subjective preference of the decision maker. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
