A new ranking method for solving hexadecagonal fuzzy assignment problem

Assignment problem is a special case of linear programming problem. The objective of the optimal assignment is to minimize the total cost or maximize the profit. Fuzzy set theory has been applied in many fields of Science, Engineering and Management. In this paper a new ranking method is proposed for solving the Hexadecagonal fuzzy assignment problem. Fuzzy assignment problem transformed into crisp assignment problem and solved by Hungarian method. Numerical example is presented and the optimal solution is derived by using proposed method.
