Assignment problem (AP) is well- studied and important area in optimization. In this research manuscript, an assignment problem in neutrosophic environment, called as neutrosophic assignment problem (NAP), is introduced. The problem is proposed by using the interval-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers in the elements of cost matrix. As per the concept of score function, the interval-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic assignment problem (IVTNAP) is transformed to the corresponding an interval-valued AP. To optimize the objective function in interval form, we use the order relations. These relations are the representations of choices of decision maker. The maximization (or minimization) model with objective function in interval form is changed to multi- objective based on order relations introduced by the decision makers' preference in case of interval profits (or costs). In the last, we solve a numerical example to support the proposed solution methodology.
