Saffron is the most expensive spice and is significantly valuable in non-oil export. Drying process of saffron is considered as a critical control point with major effects on quality and safety parameters. A suitable drying method covering standards and market requirements while it is costlty benefitial and saves energy is desirable. Solar drying could be introduced as an appropriate procedure ...

Globalization of business and competitiveness in manufacturing has forced companies to improve their manufacturing facilities to respond to market requirements. Machine tool evaluation involves an essential decision using imprecise and vague information, and plays a major role to improve the productivity and flexibility in manufacturing. The aim of this study is to present an integrated approac...

Web administrators’ prioritization of several upgrading alternatives with respect to multiple contradictory criteria involve fuzziness and impreciseness of human’s subjective judgements in a Web server system. In this paper, fuzzy concepts are used to enhance the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which are mainly applied in crisps decision environment. The entropy weight proposed by ...

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the decision process of manufacturing systems (MSs) under uncertain conditions. The decision process needs a systematic approach to structure the system requirements and highlight the management preferences while considering vague criteria. In order to establish a suitable empirical approach for the decision process compatible with the current/future re...

This paper presents a hybrid neuro-fuzzy methodology to identify appropriate global logistics (GL) operational modes used for global supply chain management. The proposed methodological framework includes three main developmental phases: (1) establishment of a GL strategic hierarchy, (2) formulation of GL-mode identification rules, and (3) development of a GL-mode choice model. By integrating a...

Now-a-days, the globalization approach can be clearly observed in countries' movement toward the knowledge-based economy. It is inevitable to support knowledge-based institutions and companies in order to realize the expected goals including development of science and technology, meeting the domestic industries' needs and moving toward a knowledge-based economy.
