this paper addresses a new version of the exible ow line prob- lem, i.e., the budget constrained one, in order to determine the required num- ber of processors at each station along with the selection of the most eco- nomical process routes for products. since a number of parameters, such as due dates, the amount of available budgets and the cost of opting particular routes, are imprecise (fuzz...

The theoretical study of the effect of Corticosterone release scores was determined. Formulae of fuzzy two parameter Weibull distribution, fuzzy Survival and fuzzy hazard rate function and its α-cut sets were presented. Using fuzzy survival and hazard rate model based on two parameter Weibull distributions, we showed that in the test termination, if the fuzzy Survival value increases then the f...

in this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (dmus) called ideal dmu (idmu) and anti-ideal dmu (admu) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of dmus are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (fdea). therefore, we evaluate dmus from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. for each dmu two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and ...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...

A special method for system modeling is presented to develop multi-variable fuzzy models on the basis of the system’s measured input and output data. The global modeling problem is proposed to be solved in two steps: by fuzzy model configuration and fuzzy model identification. The fuzzy model configuration procedure is characterized by preliminary considerations leading to the definition of the...

Prediction is a critical component in decision-making process for business management. Fuzzy Markov model is a common approach for dealing with the prediction of time series. However, not many studies devoted their attention to the effect of the parameters on model fitting for fuzzy Markov model. In the paper, we examine the prediction ability for fuzzy Markov model, based on the data of Taiwan...

supplier selection is a multi-criteria problem. this study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple inputs and outputs. first, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by data envelopment analysis (dea), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

Nowadays, kriging has been accepted as the most common method of grade estimation in mineral resource evaluation stage. Access to the crisp assay data and a variogram model are the necessary means for the utilization of this method. Since fitting a crisp variogram model is generally difficult, if not impossible, the fitted theoretical model is usually tainted with uncertainty due to various rea...
