TL;DR
A new revised method for ranking fuzzy numbers has been proposed which can avoid problem forranking fuzzy numbers and the considerable priority of the proposed method is its simplicity and easiness in calculation with distance method.
Abstract
Due to the vague nature of fuzzy numbers, ranking them according to their magnitude is an interesting area of fuzzy numbers. For this reason, several techniques have been proposed for ranking them. Each of these techniques has shown non-intuitive res

The usual algebraic operations on real numbers are extended to fuzzy numbers by the use of a fuzzification principle, and the practical use of fuzzified operations is shown to be easy, requiring no more computation than when dealing with error intervals in classic tolerance analysis.

This work proposes ranking fuzzy numbers with the area between the centroid point and original point to overcome shortcomings in the coefficient of variation (CV index).
Computers & Mathematics with ApplicationsComparison of fuzzy numbers based on the probability measure of fuzzy events
454 Citations1988E.S. Lee, R.-J. Li
In this paper the order of fuzzy numbers are determined based on the concept of probability measure of fuzzy events due to Zadeh, which considers both the mean and dispersion of alternatives and gives two groups of indicesbased on the uniform and the proportional probability distributions.

A revised method is proposed which can avoid problems of Chu and Tsao's method for ranking fuzzy numbers, and it is easy to rank fuzzy numbers in a way similar to the original method.

A measure called the satisfaction function is proposed which estimates the satisfaction degree of arithmetic comparison relations (such as >, >) and it is shown that the degree of satisfaction is higher on the positive side than the negative side.
