This paper presents a new recognition and classification method for power quality (PQ) disturbances on the basis of pattern linguistic values. This method solves the difficulty of recognizing disturbances rapidly and accurately by using fuzzy logic. This method uses classification disturbance patterns to define the linguistic values of fuzzy input variables and used the input variables of corre...

Quality function deployment (QFD) has been widely recognized as an effective means to develop quality products that can maximize customer satisfactions. This paper presents a novel extension to the fuzzy QFD methodology using rough set theory, with the aim to facilitate decision making in the early stages of product development and lead to the establishment of a QFD-based expert system for prod...

This article suggests a new method that transfers the house of quality (HOQ) approach typical of quality function deployment (QFD) problems to the supplier selection process. To test its efficacy, the method is applied to a supplier selection process for a medium-to-large industry that manufactures complete clutch couplings. The study starts by identifying the features that the purchased produc...

The roof matrix represents correlations among engineering characteristics (EC) in the house of quality (HoQ) Quality Functions Deployment (QFD). Correlations are usually measured qualitatively and omitted analysis. However, ignoring them may cause duplication effort, decreased product performance, unsatisfied customer requirements (CR). Hence, this paper intends to propose an approach consideri...

House Of Quality (HOQ) is one of the matrices of an iterative process called Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The foundation of the HOQ is the belief that products should be designed to re ̄ect customers' desires and taste. HOQ is performed by a multidisciplinary team representing marketing, design engineering, manufacturing engineering, and any other functions considered critical by the compa...

Merging sustainable development with the business, and taking goals into account from its three dimensions (i.e., economic, environmental and social) which are derived from customer and stakeholder requirements have been a potential source of competitive differentiation for firms. Academic and corporate interest in sustainable supply chain (SSC) management has also risen considerably in recent ...

The problem of evaluating the building engineering quality with intuitionistic fuzzy information is the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems for evaluating the building engineering quality with intuitionistic fuzzy information. We utilize the induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered wei...

The patent marketplace has expanded significantly as an increasing number of patents are being filed. In turn, the demand for patent intermediaries is also expected to grow. One channel of patent flow for patentees to realize revenue is patent out-licensing, which involves high risk and uncertainty and a consuming need for coordination. Most patent licensing studies have focused on licensing mo...
