Fuzzy ahp with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and topsis

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a popular multi criteria decision making developed by Thomas L. Saaty. A method was explained by synthesizing the concepts of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers which are used to rank the alternatives with respect to different criteria. A case study on problem of student drop outs in schools was conducted to identify and rank the alternatives with respect to different criteria. It can be concluded that Implementation of Infrastructure has highest weight which curbs student dropouts, based on opinions of the experts.
