There are varieties of QFD combination forms available that can help management to choose the right model for his/her types of problem. The proposed MOCC-QFD-FMEA model is a right model to include variety of objectives as well as the risk factors into the model of the problem. Due to the fact that the model also takes into consideration the concept of Fuzzy set, it further allows management...

The main purpose of this article is to highlight the fact that there are some drawbacks in the existing definition of complementation of fuzzy sets and hence the geometrical representation of fuzzy sets on the basis of such definition which itself is defective would have no meaning. As a result the theorems or formulas which were rooted in the geometrical representation would become unacceptabl...

In this paper we consider the problem of the evaluation of system reliability, in which the lifetimes of components are described using a fuzzy exponential distribution. Formula of a fuzzy reliability function and its α-cut set are presented. The fuzzy reliability of structures is defined on the basis of fuzzy number. Furthermore, the fuzzy reliability functions of k -out-ofm system, series sys...

This paper investigates roughness of fuzzy soft sets. A pair of fuzzy soft rough approximations is proposed and their properties are given. Based on fuzzy soft rough approximations, the concept of fuzzy soft rough sets is introduced. New types of fuzzy soft sets such as full, intersection complete and union complete fuzzy soft sets are defined and supported by some illustrative examples. We obt...

For successful trading in financial markets, it is important to develop financial models where one can identify different states of the market for modifying one’s actions. In this paper, we propose to use probabilistic fuzzy systems for this purpose. We concentrate on Takagi–Sugeno (TS) probabilistic fuzzy systems that combine interpretability of fuzzy systems with the statistical properties of...

a flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. this work  illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. in this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...

This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

Gradual concepts abound in many web-related domains, ranging from the notion of relevance in information retrieval, to the strength of connection in online social networks. As a result, fuzzy set theory is often a natural choice in implementing web systems. In this chapter, we give an overview of applications of fuzzy set theory in this area, focusing in particular on information retrieval, the...

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 th...
