There exists little investigation on multiattribute decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environments although both crisp and fuzzy multiattribute decision making have achieved a great progress. In this paper, multiattribute decision making problems using intuitionistic fuzzy sets are investigated and the TOPSIS is further extended to develop one new methodology for solving such problems. In this methodology, an interval fractional programming model is constructed on the basis of the relative closeness co-efficient using the TOPSIS. Comprehensive evaluation of each alternative, which may be described as an intuitionistic fuzzy set or interval number, is calculated using two auxiliary mathematical programming problems derived from the interval fractional programming model proposed in this paper. Optimal degrees of membership for alternatives are calculated to determine their ranking order using the concept of likelihood based on the ranking method of interval numbers. Implementation process of the method proposed in this paper is illustrated with a numerical example.
