Abstract
In this paper, we define fuzzy soft matrices and study their basic properties. We then define products of fuzzy soft matrices that satisfy commutative law and present a decision making method. This method can solve decision making problems which consider many observers’ views. We finally offer some examples to show that the presented method is more reasonable and reliable in solving practical problems.
