%X Nowadays, Lean manufacturing tools become akey strategy for global competition. In a lean manufacturingenvironment, the selection of process equipments is a complexmulti criteria problem. To solve such types of problems we use theVIKOR method . By using the VIKOR method decision makerscan take the decision which is closer to the ideal solutions. In thispaper linguistic fuzzy data is used to find out the ranking. Itexplains the procedure of VIKOR model in selecting a machinewith a numerical example.
