Supply Chain: crisp and fuzzy aspects

Mohammad Fazel Zarandi, Ismail Türkşen, Soroosh Saghiri (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This survey presents crisp and fuzzy models developed for the Supply Chain (SC). To this end, fuzzy concepts are first briefly reviewed. Then the structure of a supply chain system is explained. Recent challenges and ideas on these systems are also surveyed. Then, with reference to different aspects of an SC system, we classify the recent fuzzy models developed for different SC systems and compare them with related crisp models. Applications of the SC in manufacturing and service industries...

Fuzzy versus probabilistic benefit/cost ratio analysis for public work projects

Cengiz Kahraman (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The benefit/cost (B/C) ratio method is utilized in many government and public work projects to determine if the expected benefits provide an acceptable return on the estimated investment and costs. Many authors have studied probabilis- tic cash flows in recent years. They introduced some analytical methods which determine the probability distribution function of the net present value and in- ternal rate of return of a series of random discrete cash flows. They considered serially correlated...

ReSySTER: A hybrid recommender system for Scrum team roles based on fuzzy and rough sets

Ricardo Colomo-Palacios, Israel González-Carrasco, José Luis López-Cuadrado, Ángel García-Crespo (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Agile development is a crucial issue within software engineering because one of the goals of any project leader is to increase the speed and flexibility in the development of new commercial products. In this sense, project managers must find the best resource configuration for each of the work packages necessary for the management of software development processes in order to keep the team motivated and committed to the project and to improve productivity and quality. This paper presents...

An approach to fuzzy temporal reasoning in medicine.

R. Marín, S. Barro, F. Palacios, R. Ruiz, F. Martín (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In this work we propose an approach for the application of a fuzzy temporal constraint model to intelligent patient monitoring tasks. After analyzing the requirements of the domain, we describe the approach that was followed in order to represent temporal information and solve queries on temporal relations. These processes require the cooperation of a temporal specialist with the domain reasoning mechanisms. The integration solution presented here corresponds to a stage of the implementation...

Fuzzy approach for data association in image tracking.

Julio García, José Manuel Molina, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier I. Portillo (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A fuzzy system has been developed to ponder update decisions both for the trajectories and shapes estimated for targets. It is embedded in an A-SMGCS Surveillance function for airport surface, based on video data processing, in charge of the automatic detection, identification and tracking of all interesting targets (aircraft and relevant ground vehicles). The tracking system captures a sequence of images, preprocesses them to extract the moving regions (blobs), and associates the blobs...

Capital budgeting problems with fuzzy cash flows.

Christer Carlsson, Robert Fuller (1999)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

We consider the internal rate of return (IRR) decision rule in capital budgeting problems with fuzzy cash flows. The possibility distribution of the IRR at any r ≥ 0, is defined to be the degree of possibility that the (fuzzy) net present value of the project with discount factor r equals to zero. Generalizing our earlier results on fuzzy capital budegeting problems [Car99] we show that the possibility distribution of the {IRR} is a highly nonlinear function which is getting more and...
