The consistency of judgment that is carried out by experts/ participants during a series of pairwise comparison methods represents a key evaluation issue to the reliability of the ultimate output (performance evaluation). This paper presents a Fuzzy Consistency Algorithm (FCA) to check and evaluate the consistency level of expert’s judgment. The new algorithm proposes a consistent preference linguistic value(s) as an option to the experts in case of inconsistency judgment in evaluation performance. Based on the proposed algorithm, the paper introduces new tools that allow experts to trace and understand the roots of inconsistency and select the relevant consistent option(s). The algorithm allows the degree of consistency to be configured by user. The paper also applies the proposed algorithm to the performance evaluation of Sudanese universities as an empirical study.
