Product planning is one of four important processes in new product development (NPD) using quality function deployment (QFD), which is a widely used customer-driven approach. In our opinion, the first problem to be solved is how to incorporate both qualitative and quantitative information regarding relationships between customer requirements (CRs) and engineering characteristics (ECs) as well a...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...

triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (if) set and the ranking of tifns is an important problem. the aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking tifns by using multiattribute decision making methods (madm). in this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of tifns may be considered as the attributes and the tifns in compa...

in this paper, we deal with fuzzy random variables for inputs andoutputs in data envelopment analysis (dea). these variables are considered as fuzzyrandom flat lr numbers with known distribution. the problem is to find a method forconverting the imprecise chance-constrained dea model into a crisp one. this can bedone by first, defuzzification of imprecise probability by constructing a suitablem...

In fuzzy set theory, it is well known that a triangular fuzzy number can be uniquely determined through its position and entropies. In the present communication, we extend this concept on triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number for its one-to-one correspondence with its position and entropies. Using the concept of fuzzy entropy the estimators of the intuitionistic fuzzy regression coefficients h...

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...

There have been many increasing interests in fuzzy theory in the recent years, yet there are a lot of issues to be resolved, mainly on topics related to controller design such as the field of robot, artificial intelligence, and nonlinear systems etc. This study focuses on the development of triangular fuzzy numbers, the revising of triangular fuzzy numbers, and the constructing of a HCFN (half-...
