Abstract
Material selection plays an important role in enabling sustainability, since it facilitates the design and manufacturing process involved in the production of a component. The design and manufacturing process in turn reduces the ecological impacts and improving the social dealings Material selection for an automotive component involves multiple criteria. So in order to select the best material, Multiple Criterion Decision Making (MCDM) method is the best option. To avoid the tribulations because of linguistic variables, fuzzy based MCDM is introduced in this context. Compromise ranking has been widely used as an effective MCDM method. Therefore in this context, a fuzzy based compromise ranking method is used. Compromise solution has been arrived for a threshold value and a single solution is also arrived by setting a different threshold value.
