Assignment problem is a well-known topic and is used very often in solving problems of engineering and management science. In this problem denotes the cost for assigning the job to the person. This cost is usually deterministic in nature. In this paper has been considered to be triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers denoted by ̃ which are more realistic and general in nature. A new ranking meth...

Fuzzy arithmetic is a successful tool to solve engineering problems with uncertain parameters. The generalized mathematical operations for fuzzy numbers can theoretically be defined making use of Zadeh’s extension principle. Practical real-world applications of fuzzy arithmetic, however, require an appropriate form of implementation for the fuzzy numbers and the fuzzy arithmetical operations. F...

In previous work, authors have proposed two new aggregation operators for a class of LR fuzzy numbers known as triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) in which the Land Rapex angles of the piecewise continuous linear membership function of the composite or resultant or aggregate TFN are the arithmetic means [1] and the geometric means [2] of the Land Rapex angles of the individual TFNs. In another pape...

In this paper, the minimum spanning tree problem is investigated on the graph with fuzzy edge weights. The notion of fuzzy α-minimum spanning tree is presented based on the credibility measure, and then the solutions of the fuzzy α-minimum spanning tree problem are discussed under different assumptions. First, we respectively assume that all the edge weights are triangular fuzzy numbers and tra...

In this paper, a fuzzy based inventory model for imperfect quality items has been developed with shortages. The parameters fixed cost; holding cost and shortage cost are considered as fuzzy numbers. We considered the triangular fuzzy number to represents fuzzy parameters. The optimum order quantity is obtained in fuzzy sense with the help of signed distance method. The proposed model is illustr...

In this paper, some elementary operations on triangular fuzzynumbers (TFNs) are defined. We also define some operations on triangularfuzzy matrices (TFMs) such as trace and triangular fuzzy determinant(TFD). Using elementary operations, some important properties of TFMs arepresented. The concept of adjoints on TFM is discussed and some of theirproperties are. Some special types of TFMs (e.g. pu...

Abstract A fuzzy EOQ model with backorders is considered in which the costs like setup, holding and penalty price are assumed as triangular FN (fuzzy numbers). Graded mean integration approach more simple accurate employed to defuzzify cost functions. The illustrated numerical examples compute optimal values.

quality function development (qfd) is a planning tools used to fulfill customer expectation and qfd is a systematic process to translating customer requirement (whats) into technical description (hows). qfd aims to maximize customer satisfactions related to enterprise satisfaction. the inherent fuzziness of relationships in qfd modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the r...

The purpose of this research paper was to propose a method which can be utilized to determine the different types of performance measures on the basis of the crisp values for the fuzzy queuing model which has an unreliable server and where the rate of arrival, the rate of service, the rate of breakdown and the rate of repair are all expressed as the fuzzy numbers. In this case the inter arrival...

This paper considers a flow shop problem with imprecise processing times with the objective to minimize the makespan. The processing times are described by triangular fuzzy numbers. The issue that arises is how to rank the constructed job sequences with respect to their obtained makespans, which are fuzzy numbers. A new distance measure between fuzzy makespans is introduced which includes an op...
