Abstract
When no probabilities are available for states of nature, decisions are given under uncertainty. When probabilities are unattainable, the criteria such as minimax, maximin, minimaxregret can be used. While these criteria are used, a single value is assigned for every strategy and state of nature. Fuzzy numbers are a good tool for the operation research analyst facing uncertainty and subjectivity. A triangular fuzzy number has been used instead of a single value of outcome. Numerical Examples have been given for every fuzzy decision criterion.
