this paper addresses the design of control charts for both variable ( x chart) andattribute (u and c charts) quality characteristics, when there is uncertainty about the processparameters or sample data. derived control charts are more flexible than the strict crisp case, dueto the ability of encompassing the effects of vagueness in form of the degree of expert’spresumption. we extend the use o...

In this paper, we develop a multilayered genetic based fuzzy image filter, which consists of fuzzy number construction process, a fuzzy filtering process, a genetic learning process and an image knowledge base. The introduction of multilayered fuzzy systems substantially decreases the no of rules to be learnt. First, the fuzzy number construction process receives noise free image and sample ima...

in some quality control applications, the quality of a process or a product is described by the relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables, called a profile. moreover, in most practical applications, the qualitative characteristic of a product/service is vague, uncertain and linguistic and cannot be precisely stated. the purpose of this paper is to propose a ...

supplier evaluation and selection is complex which caused by the dynamic and fuzzy environment. current mcdm methods do not consider the nature of the environment that can affect the process of evaluation and ranking. the aim of this study is to propose a dynamic fuzzy hybrid mcdm method for evaluation, ranking and selection. the proposed method employs fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) f...

controlling a system with minimum information and regardless of dynamic equations which dominate systems is the aim of intelligent control. one of the common approaches for process control is applying shewhart's quality control charts. neuro-fuzzy networks, as one of the branches of artificial intelligence (ai), can play an effective role in the enforcement of process control's common...

The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMADM) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. Therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. These criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. This paper proposes a method which combines th...
