Abstract

The evaluation processes are used for quality inspection, marketing and other fields in industrial companies. This contribution focuses in sensory evaluation where the evaluated items are assessed according to the knowledge acquired via human senses by a panel of experts. In these evaluation processes the information provided by the experts implies uncertainty, vagueness and imprecision. The use of the Fuzzy Linguistic Approach [1] has provided successful results modeling such a type of information. Usually evaluation processes based on linguistic approaches use symmetrical and uniformly distributed linguistic term sets in order to express their preferences about the evaluated objects. However, there exist problems whose assessments need that one side of the scale overweight the other one, it means an unbalanced linguistic scale. In this contribution we present a sensory evaluation model that manages frameworks with unbalanced linguistic information.
