With respect to fuzzy judgement matrix on alternatives provided by the decision maker, a new method for ranking alternatives is proposed. On the basis of definitions about the fuzzy judgement matrix and its consistency, a non-linear optimization model with constraints is set up to obtain the ranking values of alternatives. In this method, ranking of alternatives reflects the subjective preference of the decision maker. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed method.
