The concept of an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number (IFN) is of importance for representing an ill-known quantity. Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in the decision process, data analysis and applications. An assignment problem is a type of linear programming problem which deals with assigning various jobs to equal number of machines in such a way that the total cost is minimized by maximizing the profit. In this paper, the cost of the Fuzzy Assignment Problem is considered as Symmetric Octagonal Intuitionistic Fuzzy number and it is defuzzified by using a ranking procedure. The classical assignment problem expounded is solved by adopting Modified Best Candidate method which optimizes the cost efficiency.The procedure is illustrated with a numerical Example.
