Abstract

A short note on methods of ranking fuzzy numbers in risk analysis problems

Highlights

  • Project management has become a key business process on strategic as well as operational level

  • We review briefly the methods for ranking fuzzy number in risk analysis

  • Numerous studies have indicated that fuzzy tools are becoming very popular in risk analysis problems because of the flexibility and efficiency they give to a decision maker (e.g. Chen and Chen, 2008; Akyar et al, 2013; Madhuri et al, 2014 and Alidoosti et al, 2012)

Summary

Introduction

Project management has become a key business process on strategic as well as operational level. Most projects have restrictions in time, cost, scope and quality, there is a high level of uncertainty in any project too (Perminova et al, 2008). According to PMBOK, project risk is: “an uncertain event or condition that has a potential effect on at least one project objective” (Perminova et al, 2008). Fuzzy sets support linguistic vagueness effectively and provide approximate but very useful descriptions for ill-defined problems (Motawa et al, 2006). Numerous studies have indicated that fuzzy tools are becoming very popular in risk analysis problems because of the flexibility and efficiency they give to a decision maker Fuzzy numbers are defined by possibility distribution and can overlap each other.
