Soft set theory was introduced by Molodtsov to handle uncertainty. It uses a family of subsets associated with each parameter. Hybrid models have been found to be more useful than the individual components. Earlier fuzzy set and soft set were combined to form fuzzy soft sets (FSS). Soft sets were defined from a different point of view in Tripathy et al. (Int J Reasoning-Based Intell Syst 7(3/4), 2015) where they used the notion of characteristic functions. Hence, many related concepts were also redefined. In Tripathy et al. (Proceedings of ICCIDM-2015 membership function for FSSs was defined. We propose a new algorithm by following this approach which provides an application of FSSs in group decision making. The performance of this algorithm is substantially improved than that of the earlier algorithm.
