Abstract: In this study, a new technique of complete ranking is proposed to augment the efficiency of the preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) methodology. The technique employs some ideas of the PROMETHEE method and paraconsistent Pavelka style fuzzy logic. To illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of this novel technique, data on the performance of five mobile phone operators in Ghana is analysed and the results compared with the ranking of the conventional PROMETHEE I and II.

Keywords: paraconsistent logic; Pavelka logic; leaving and entering flows; evidence couple; evidence matrices; PROMETHEE; paraconsistent Pavelka style fuzzy logic; MV-algebra; complete ranking.
