چکیده مقاله:

This research proposes a vigorous methodology based on the fuzzy set theory to improve the facility layout process. Using natural language, the fuzzy set theory is an appropriate tool for controlling complex systems such as facility planning. The closeness rating between departments in a plant depends on qualitative and quantitative factors. Some of these factors may have a greater effect on the closeness rating. Thus, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is used to find the weight of these factors. In this paper, a computer program, called FDARC, is developed to generate quantitative activity relationship charts. These charts are used by FLAYOUT to develop the layouts. The procedure is compared with two other recent methods. Computational results are used to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the method proposed.&#10&#10

A Fuzzy Decision Making Approach to Enterprise Resource Planning System Selection

Here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The fuzzy AHP approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for ERP system selection problem. Therefore, fuzzy AHP method is used to obtain firm decis...

A modification of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets and its application to multiple criteria decision making

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...

Horizontal representation of a hesitant fuzzy set and its application to multiple attribute decision making

The main aim of this paper is to present a novel method for ranking hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) based on transforming HFSs into fuzzy sets (FSs). The idea behind the method is an interesting HFS decomposition which is referred here to as the horizontal representation in the current study. To show the validity of the proposed ranking method, we apply it to solve a multi-attribute decision-making ...

FUZZY SOFT MATRIX THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION IN DECISION MAKING

In this work, we define fuzzy soft ($fs$) matrices and theiroperations which are more functional to make theoretical studies inthe $fs$-set theory. We then define products of $fs$-matrices andstudy their properties. We finally construct a $fs$-$max$-$min$decision making method which can be successfully applied to theproblems that contain uncertainties.

Stochastic Facility Layout Planning Problem: A Metaheuristic and Case Study

Facility layout is one of the most important Operations Management problems due to its direct impact on the financial performance of both private and public firms. Facility layout problem (FLP) with stochastic parameters, unequal area facilities, and grid system modeling is named GSUA-STFLP. This problem has not been worked in the literature so that to solve GSUA-STFLP is our main contribution....
