The issue of sustainability, which is an increasingly important consideration in the day-to-day operations of businesses, needs to be addressed in the context of supplier selection. The use of multi-criteria approaches in decisions concerning the selection of sustainable suppliers can be a valuable approach for helping to resolve the complexity of this process. A systematic review of the literature highlighted gaps in the research in this area, such as the lack of a detailed description of multi-criteria methods, as well as a scarcity of sustainability criteria that take into account the three main perspectives (Economic, Environmental, and Social). This work describes the development and real case application of a DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and ANP (Analytic Network Process) fuzzy modeling technique for the selection of sustainable suppliers. The methodological approach used in the research was quantitative, descriptive, and empirical. The modeling and simulations were performed using MATLAB®. Incorporation of the specificities of the process of selection of sustainable suppliers makes the model a useful tool for use by both businesses and researchers concerned with the issue of sustainability. A systematic review of the published research highlights the main state-of-art methods and criteria used for the selection of green and sustainable suppliers. The model is described in a framework highlighting each step of the application. It was subsequently applied by a major glass packaging company, where the supply chain coordinator agreed to assist in the research. The outputs of the second phase of the model showed that the Economic cluster was most important and interacted with the Environmental cluster, while the Social cluster remained practically inert, without interactions with the other clusters. For the three perspectives, the three most influential criteria were as follows: cost, compliance, and quality (Economic perspective); environmental certifications/ISO 14001, reuse/recovery, and pollution control (Environmental perspective); and stakeholder rights, respect for policies, and encouragement of the development of self-sustainable recycling programs (Social perspective). Finally, a supplier was selected using the framework presented, and the criteria that most influenced the decision were highlighted. The procedure developed here offers a tool to assist businesses searching for sustainable solutions, as well as researchers in the scientific community concerned with the development of knowledge in this area.
A temática sustentável, cada vez mais presente e atuante no cotidiano das operações das empresas precisa ser tratada no contexto da seleção de fornecedores. Aplicar abordagens de decisão multicritério para a seleção de fornecedores sustentáveis demonstra ser uma alternativa interessante a fim de lidar com a natureza complexa deste processo. Por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi possível destacar algumas lacunas de pesquisa, como a falta de uma visão detalhada dos métodos multicritérios e uma escassa abordagem de critérios sustentáveis, abordando as três perspectivas (Econômica, Ambiental e Social). Desta forma, o objetivo central da pesquisa é detalhar e aplicar em um caso real a modelagem fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) e fuzzy ANP (Analytic Network Process) para a seleção de fornecedores sustentáveis. A abordagem metodológica empregada na pesquisa é quantitativa descritiva empírica, com aplicação de modelagem e simulação em MATLAB ®. Espera-se que o modelo possa internalizar as especificidades do processo de seleção de fornecedores sustentáveis de modo a tornar-se uma ferramenta útil às empresas e aos pesquisadores que estudam o método. A revisão sistemática da pesquisa pode destacar os principais métodos na literatura e os principais critérios utilizados pela seleção de fornecedores verdes e sustentáveis no estado da arte. O modelo foi detalhado em um framework, destacando-se cada passo da aplicação. Posteriormente foi aplicado em uma empresa de grande porte de embalagens vítreas, onde a coordenadora de Supply Chain se dispôs a auxiliar na pesquisa. Como saídas da segunda fase do modelo, o cluster Econômico revelou ser o mais importante e exerce influência sob o cluster Ambiental, já o cluster Social permanece praticamente inerte sem exercer ou receber influência. Também pode-se destacar que os três critérios mais influentes de cada perspectiva foram: ‘Custo’, ‘Compliance’ e ‘Qualidade’ na perspectiva Econômica; ‘Certificações Ambientais / ISO 14001’, Reuso / Recuperação e ‘Controle da Poluição’ na perspectiva Ambiental; e ‘Direitos dos Stakeholders’, ‘Respeito pelas políticas’ e ‘Incentivo ao desenvolvimento de programas de reciclagem auto-sustentáveis’ na perspectiva Social. Ao final, um fornecedor é escolhido com o framework apresentado, e os critérios mais influentes na decisão foram destacados. Esta discussão é válida para auxiliar empresas em busca de soluções sustentáveis e pesquisadores na área que desenvolvem o conhecimento para a comunidade científica.

A abordagem Quality Function Deployment (QFD) integrada a métodos multicritério de apoio à decisão vem sendo amplamente aplicada a projetos de novos produtos, particularmente quando integrada à lógica fuzzy. O objetivo da dissertação é propor um modelo conceitual baseado na abordagem fuzzy ANP-QFD para definir e priorizar requisitos de projeto de novos produtos de defesa à luz de requisitos dos clientes. A pesquisa pode ser considerada descritiva, metodológica e aplicada. A partir dos resultados da revisão bibliográfica e documental sobre os temas centrais da pesquisa, desenvolveu-se um modelo conceitual para definição e priorização de requisitos técnicos de novos produtos de defesa, buscando-se preencher lacunas identificadas na literatura especializada no período 1987-2017. A aplicabilidade do modelo foi demonstrada mediante um estudo empírico no âmbito do Projeto COBRA 2020, uma iniciativa estratégica do Exército brasileiro. Para este estudo, selecionou-se um dos produtos do referido Projeto – um monóculo de visão térmica. Destacam-se como principais contribuições da pesquisa um modelo para definir e priorizar requisitos de projeto de novos produtos de defesa, que considera a complexidade, subjetividade e incerteza como características inerentes a projetos de novos produtos de defesa. Os resultados desta pesquisa poderão ser replicados em outros projetos de novos produtos de defesa – no Centro Tecnológico do Exército – CTEx – e em outras instituições militares envolvidas com atividades de pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação (PDeI) no Brasil e no exterior.
The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach integrated with multicriteria decision-support methods has been widely applied to development of new product, particularly with the support of fuzzy logic. The objective of this dissertation is to propose a conceptual model based on the fuzzy ANP-QFD approach to define and prioritize project requirements of new defense products. The research can be considered descriptive, applied, and methodological. Based on the results of the bibliographic and documentary review on the central themes of the research, a conceptual model was developed to determine and prioritize project requirements of new defense products, seeking to fill gaps identified during the literature review covering the period of 1987-2017. The applicability of the model was demonstrated by an empirical case study having as experimental context the Project COBRA 2020, a strategic initiative of the Brazilian Army. For this study, one of new products to be developed within this Project was selected – a monocle of thermal vision. The main contribution of the research is a model for determining and prioritizing project requirements of new defense products, which considers the complexity, subjectivity, and uncertainty as inherent characteristics to the design of new defense products. The research findings could be replicated in other projects of new defense products - at the Army Technological Center - CTEx - and other military institutions dealing with research, development and innovation (RDandI) activities in Brazil and abroad.

Full textIn the literature there are several proposals of fuzzi cation of lattices and ideals concepts. Chon in (Korean J. Math 17 (2009), No. 4, 361-374), using the notion of fuzzy order relation de ned by Zadeh, introduced a new notion of fuzzy lattice and studied the level sets of fuzzy lattices, but did not de ne a notion of fuzzy ideals for this type of fuzzy lattice. In this thesis, using the fuzzy lattices de ned by Chon, we de ne fuzzy homomorphism between fuzzy lattices, the operations of product, collapsed sum, lifting, opposite, interval and intuitionistic on bounded fuzzy lattices. They are conceived as extensions of their analogous operations on the classical theory by using this de nition of fuzzy lattices and introduce new results from these operators. In addition, we de ne ideals and lters of fuzzy lattices and concepts in the same way as in their characterization in terms of level and support sets. One of the results found here is the connection among ideals, supports and level sets. The reader will also nd the de nition of some kinds of ideals and lters as well as some results with respect to the intersection among their families. Moreover, we introduce a new notion of fuzzy ideals and fuzzy lters for fuzzy lattices de ned by Chon. We de ne types of fuzzy ideals and fuzzy lters that generalize usual types of ideals and lters of lattices, such as principal ideals, proper ideals, prime ideals and maximal ideals. The main idea is verifying that analogous properties in the classical theory on lattices are maintained in this new theory of fuzzy ideals. We also de ne, a fuzzy homomorphism h from fuzzy lattices L and M and prove some results involving fuzzy homomorphism and fuzzy ideals as if h is a fuzzy monomorphism and the fuzzy image of a fuzzy set ~h(I) is a fuzzy ideal, then I is a fuzzy ideal. Similarly, we prove for proper, prime and maximal fuzzy ideals. Finally, we prove that h is a fuzzy homomorphism from fuzzy lattices L into M if the inverse image of all principal fuzzy ideals of M is a fuzzy ideal of L. Lastly, we introduce the notion of -ideals and - lters of fuzzy lattices and characterize it by using its support and its level set. Moreover, we prove some similar properties in the classical theory of - ideals and - lters, such as, the class of -ideals and - lters are closed under intersection. We also de ne fuzzy -ideals of fuzzy lattices, some properties analogous to the classical theory are also proved and characterize a fuzzy -ideal on operation of product between bounded fuzzy lattices L and M and prove some results.

Full textLet A be a nonempty set, and let ℒ = (L, ≤) be a lattice with 0 and 1. The mapping: µ: A → L is called a fuzzy subset of A. In this work we investigated fuzzy posets and fuzzy ordering relations. We introduced some new notions: fuzzy ordered groups, fuzzy positive cone, fuzzy negative cone, fuzzy lattice ordered group. Considering a structure of all weak fuzzy orderings contained in the crisp order ≤, we concluded that this structure represents a complete lattice. Also, an important task was to investigate the existence of a fuzzy lattice ordered subgroup of an l–ordered group which is not linearly ordered. A main result is a fuzzy lattice ordered subgroup of a given lattice ordered group G, which is constructed by the lattice of all convex l-subgroups of G.

Full textEsta dissertação apresenta uma nova proposta de sistemas (modelos) neuro-fuzzy que possuem, além do tradicional aprendizado dos parâmetros, comuns às redes neurais e aos sistemas nero-fuzzy, as seguintes características: aprendizado de estrutura, a partir do uso de particionamentos recursisvos; número maior de entradas que o comumente encontrado nos sistemas neuro-fuzzy; e regras com hierarquia. A definição da estrutura é uma necessidade que surge quando da implementação de um determinado modelo. Pode-se citar o caso das redes neurais, em que se deve determinar (ou arbitrar) a priori sua estrutura (número de camadas e quantidade de neurônios por camadas) antes de qualquer teste. Um método automático de aprendizado da estrutura é, portanto, uma característica importante em qualquer modelo. Um sistema que também permita o uso de um número maior de entradas é interessante para se abranger um maior número de aplicações. As regras com hierarquia são um subproduto do método de aprendizado de estrutura desenvolvido nestes novos modelos. O trabalho envolveu três partes principais: um levantamento sobre os sistemas neuro-fuzzy existentes e sobre os métodos mais comuns de ajuste de parâmetros; a definição e implementação de dois modelos neuro-fuzzy hierárquicos; e o estudo de casos. No estudo sobre os sistemas neuro-fuzzy(SNF) fez-se um levantamento na bibliografia da área sobre as características principais desses sistemas, incluindo suas virtudes e deficiências. Este estudo gerou a proposta de uma taxonomia para os SNF, em função das características fuzzy neurais. Em virtude deste estudo constataram-se limitações quanto à capacidade de criação de sua própria estrutura e quanto ao número reduzido de entradas possíveis. No que se refere aos métodos de ajuste dos parâmetros abordou-se os métodos mais comuns utilizados nos SNF, a saber: o método dos mínimos quadrados com sua solução através de métodos numéricos iterativos; e o método gradient descent e seus derivados como o BackPropagation e o RProp(Resilient BackPropagation). A definição dos dois novos modelos neuro-fuzzy foi feita a partir do estudo das características desejáveis e das limitações dos SNF até então desenvolvidos. Observou-se que a base de regras dos SNF juntamente com os seus formatos de particionamento dos espaços de entrada e saída têm grande influência sobre o desempenho e as limitações destes modelos. Assim sendo, decidiu-se utilizar uma nova forma de particionamento que eliminasse ou reduzisse as limitações existentes- os particionamentos recursivos. Optou-se pelo uso dos particionamentos Quadtree e BSP, gerando os dois modelos NFHQ (Neuro-Fuzzy Hierárquico Quadree) e NFHB (Neiro-Fuzzy Hierárquico BSP). Com o uso de particionamentos obteve-se um nova classe de SNF que permitiu além do aprendizado dos parâmetros, também o aprendizado dos parâmetros. Isto representa um grande diferencial em relação aos SNF tradicionais, além do fato de se conseguir extender o limite do número de entradas possíveis para estes sistemas. No estudo de casos, os dois modelos neurofuzzy hierárquicos foram testados 16 casos diferentes, entre as aplicações benchmarks mais tradicionais da área e problemas com maior número de entradas. Entre os casos estudados estão: o conjunto de dados IRIS; o problema das duas espirais; a previsão da série caótica de Mackey- Glass; alguns sistemas de diagnóstico e classificação gerados a partir de conjuntos de dados comumente utilizados em artigos de machine learning e uma aplicação de previsão de carga elétrica. A implementação dos dois novos modelos neuro-fuzzy foi efetuada em linguagem pascal e com o uso de um compilador de 32 bits para micros da linha PC (Pentium) com sistema operacional DOS 32 bits, Windows, ou Linux. Os testes efetuados demostraram que: esses novos modelos se ajustam bem a qualquer conj
This dissertation presents a new proposal of neurofuzzy systems (models), which present, in addition to the learning capacity (which are common to the neural networks and neurofuzzy systems) the following features: learning of the structure; the use of recursive partitioning; a greater number of inputs than usually allowed in neurofuzzy systems; and hierarchical rules. The structure´s definition is needed when implementing a certain model. In the neural network case, for example, one must, first of all, estabilish its structure (number of layers and number of neurons per layers) before any test is performed. So, an important feature for any model is the existence of an automatic learning method for creating its structure. A system that allows a larger number of inputs is also important, in order to extend the range of possible applications. The hierarchical rules feature results from the structure learning method developed for these two models. The work has involved three main parts: study of the existing neurofuzzy systems and of the most commom methods to adjust its parameters; definition and implementation of two hierarchical neurofuzzy models; and case studies. The study of neurofuzzy systems (NFS) was accomplished by creating a survey on this area, including advantages, drawbacks and the main features of NFS. A taxonomy about NFS was then proposed, taking into account the neural and fuzzy features of the existing systems. This study pointed out the limitations of neurofuzzy systems, mainly their poor capability of creating its own structure and the reduced number of allowed inputs. The study of the methods for parameter adjustment has focused on the following algorithms: Least Square estimator (LSE) and its solutions by numerical iterative methods; and the basic gradient descent method and its offsprings such as Backpropagation and Rprop (Resilient Backpropagation). The definition of two new neurofuzzy models was accomplished by considering desirable features and limitations of the existing NFS. It was observed that the partitioning formats and rule basis of the NFS have great influence on its performance and limitations. Thus, the decision to use a new partitioning method to remove or reduce the existing limitations - the recursive partitioning. The Quadtree and BSP partitioning were then adopted, generating the so called Quadree Hierarchical Neurofuzzy model (NFHQ) and the BSP hierarchical Neurofuzzy model (NFHB). By using these kind os partitioning a new class of NFS was obtained allowing the learning of the structure in addition to parameter learning. This Feature represents a great differential in relation to the traditional NFS, besides overcoming the limitation in the number of allowed inputs. In the case studies, the two neurofuzzy models were tested in 16 differents cases, such as traditional benchmarks and problems with a greater number of inputs. Among the cases studied are: the IRIS DATA set; the two spirals problem; the forecasting of Mackey-Glass chaotic time series; some diagnosis and classifications problems, found in papers about machine learning; and a real application involving load forecasting. The implementation of the two new neurofuzzy models was carried out using a 32 bit Pascal compiler for PC microcomputers using DOS or Linux operating system. The tests have shown that: these new models are able to adjust well any data sets; they create its own struture; they adjust its parameters, presenting a good generalization performance; and automatically extract the fuzzy rules. Beyond that, applications with a greater number of inputs for these neurofuzzy models. In short two neurofuzzy models were developed with the capability of structure learning, in addition to parameter learning. Moreover, these new models have good interpretability through hierarchical fuzzy rules. They are not black coxes as the neural networks.

Full textEste trabalho apresenta um modelo de Regressão Linear Nebulosa por Partes(RLNP). Trata-se de uma estrutura que envolve modelos de regressão linear por partes ponderadas por pertinências advindas da lógica nebulosa. Este modelo é comparado com o modelo de regressão linear. Os resultados mostram que o RLNP consegue identificar a estrutura não-linear dos dados simulados e que na maioria dos casos ele possui bom poder de ajuste.
In this dissertation a Fuzzy Piece-Wise Linear Regressive model FPLieR is developed. The model´s structure combines linear regressive models with fuzzy logic´s grade of membership in a piece-wise fashion. A comparision is made between this model and the linear regression one. The results show that FPLieR is able to find the linear substructure of simulated data and that in most cases it presents a good fit.

Full textEsta dissertação investiga a utilização de sistemas Neuro- Fuzzy Hierárquicos BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) para classificação de padrões e para extração de regras fuzzy em bases de dados. O objetivo do trabalho foi criar modelos específicos para classificação de registros a partir do modelo Neuro-Fuzzy Hierárquico BSP que é capaz de gerar sua própria estrutura automaticamente e extrair regras fuzzy, lingüisticamente interpretáveis, que explicam a estrutura dos dados. O princípio da tarefa de classificação de padrões é descobrir relacionamentos entre os dados com a intenção de prever a classe de um padrão desconhecido. O trabalho consistiu fundamentalmente de quatro partes: um estudo sobre os principais métodos de classificação de padrões; análise do sistema Neuro-Fuzzy Hierárquico BSP (NFHB) original na tarefa de classificação; definição e implementação de dois sistemas NFHB específicos para classificação de padrões; e o estudo de casos. No estudo sobre os métodos de classificação foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico da área, resultando em um "survey" onde foram apresentadas as principais técnicas utilizadas para esta tarefa. Entre as principais técnicas destacaram-se: os métodos estatísticos, algoritmos genéticos, árvores de decisão fuzzy, redes neurais, e os sistemas neuro-fuzzy. Na análise do sistema NFHB na classificação de dados levou- se em consideração as peculiaridades do modelo, que possui: aprendizado da estrutura, particionamento recursivo do espaço de entrada, aceita maior número de entradas que os outros sistemas neuro-fuzzy, além de regras fuzzy recursivas. O sistema NFHB, entretanto, não é um modelo exatamente desenvolvido para classificação de padrões. O modelo NFHB original possui apenas uma saída e para utilizá- lo como um classificador é necessário criar um critério de faixa de valores (janelas) para representar as classes. Assim sendo, decidiu-se criar novos modelos que suprissem essa deficiência. Foram definidos dois novos sistemas NFHB para classificação de padrões: NFHB-Invertido e NFHB-Class. O primeiro utiliza a arquitetura do modelo NFHB original no aprendizado e em seguida a inversão da mesma para a validação dos resultados. A inversão do sistema consistiu de um meio de adaptar o novo sistema à tarefa específica de classificação, pois passou-se a ter o número de saídas do sistema igual ao número de classes ao invés do critério de faixa de valores utilizado no modelo NFHB original. Já o sistema NFHB-Class utilizou, tanto para a fase de aprendizado, quanto para a fase de validação, o modelo NFHB original invertido. Ambos os sistemas criados possuem o número de saídas igual ao número de classes dos padrões, o que representou um grande diferencial em relação ao modelo NFHB original. Além do objetivo de classificação de padrões, o sistema NFHB-Class foi capaz de extrair conhecimento em forma de regras fuzzy interpretáveis. Essas regras são expressas da seguinte maneira: SE x é A e y é B então padrão pertence à classe Z. Realizou-se um amplo estudo de casos, abrangendo diversas bases de dados Benchmark para a tarefa de classificação, tais como: Iris Dataset, Wine Data, Pima Indians Diabetes Database, Bupa Liver Disorders e Heart Disease, e foram feitas comparações com diversos modelos e algoritmos de classificação de padrões. Os resultados encontrados com os modelos NFHB-Invertido e NFHB-Class mostraram-se, na maioria dos casos, superiores ou iguais aos melhores resultados encontrados pelos outros modelos e algoritmos aos quais foram comparados.O desempenho dos modelos NFHB-Invertido e NFHB-Class em relação ao tempo de processamento também se mostrou muito bom. Para todas as bases de dados descritas no estudo de casos (capítulo 8), os modelos convergiram para uma ótima solução de classificação, além da extração das regras fuzzy, em
This dissertation investigates the use of Neuro-Fuzzy Hierarchical BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) systems for pattern classification and extraction of fuzzy rules in databases. The objective of this work was to create specific models for the classification of registers based on the Neuro-Fuzzy BSP model that is able to create its structure automatically and to extract linguistic rules that explain the data structure. The task of pattern classification is to find relationships between data with the intention of forecasting the class of an unknown pattern. The work consisted of four parts: study about the main methods of the pattern classification; evaluation of the original Neuro-Fuzzy Hierarchical BSP system (NFHB) in pattern classification; definition and implementation of two NFHB systems dedicated to pattern classification; and case studies. The study about classification methods resulted in a survey on the area, where the main techniques used for pattern classification are described. The main techniques are: statistic methods, genetic algorithms, decision trees, neural networks, and neuro-fuzzy systems. The evaluation of the NFHB system in pattern classification took in to consideration the particularities of the model which has: ability to create its own structure; recursive space partitioning; ability to deal with more inputs than other neuro-fuzzy system; and recursive fuzzy rules. The original NFHB system, however, is unsuited for pattern classification. The original NFHB model has only one output and its use in classification problems makes it necessary to create a criterion of band value (windows) in order to represent the classes. Therefore, it was decided to create new models that could overcome this deficiency. Two new NFHB systems were developed for pattern classification: NFHB-Invertido and NFHB-Class. The first one creates its structure using the same learning algorithm of the original NFHB system. After the structure has been created, it is inverted (see chapter 5) for the generalization process. The inversion of the structure provides the system with the number of outputs equal to the number of classes in the database. The second system, the NFHB-Class uses an inverted version of the original basic NFHB cell in both phases, learning and validation. Both systems proposed have the number of outputs equal to the number of the pattern classes, what means a great differential in relation to the original NFHB model. Besides the pattern classification objective, the NFHB- Class system was able to extract knowledge in form of interpretable fuzzy rules. These rules are expressed by this way: If x is A and y is B then the pattern belongs to Z class. The two models developed have been tested in many case studies, including Benchmark databases for classification task, such as: Iris Dataset, Wine Data, Pima Indians Diabetes Database, Bupa Liver Disorders and Heart Disease, where comparison has been made with several traditional models and algorithms of pattern classification. The results found with NFHB-Invertido and NFHB-Class models, in all cases, showed to be superior or equal to the best results found by the others models and algorithms for pattern classification. The performance of the NFHB- Invertido and NFHB-Class models in terms of time-processing were also very good. For all databases described in the case studies (chapter 8), the models converged to an optimal classification solution, besides the fuzzy rules extraction, in a time-processing inferior to a minute.
Esta disertación investiga el uso de sistemas Neuro- Fuzzy Herárquicos BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) en problemas de clasificación de padrones y de extracción de reglas fuzzy en bases de datos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue crear modelos específicos para clasificación de registros a partir del modelo Neuro-Fuzzy Jerárquico BSP que es capaz de generar automáticamente su propia extructura y extraer reglas fuzzy, lingüisticamente interpretables, que explican la extructura de los datos. El principio de la clasificación de padrones es descubrir relaciones entre los datos con la intención de prever la clase de un padrón desconocido. El trabajo está constituido por cuatro partes: un estudio sobre los principales métodos de clasificación de padrones; análisis del sistema Neuro-Fuzzy Jerárquico BSP (NFHB) original en la clasificación; definición e implementación de dos sistemas NFHB específicos para clasificación de padrones; y el estudio de casos. En el estudio de los métodos de clasificación se realizó un levatamiento bibliográfico, creando un "survey" donde se presentan las principales técnicas utilizadas. Entre las principales técnicas se destacan: los métodos estadísticos, algoritmos genéticos, árboles de decisión fuzzy, redes neurales, y los sistemas neuro-fuzzy. En el análisis del sistema NFHB para clasificación de datos se tuvieron en cuenta las peculiaridades del modelo, que posee : aprendizaje de la extructura, particionamiento recursivo del espacio de entrada, acepta mayor número de entradas que los otros sistemas neuro-fuzzy, además de reglas fuzzy recursivas. El sistema NFHB, sin embargo, no es un modelo exactamente desarrollado para clasificación de padrones. El modelo NFHB original posee apenas una salida y para utilizarlo conmo un clasificador fue necesario crear un criterio de intervalos de valores (ventanas) para representar las clases. Así, se decidió crear nuevos modelos que supriman esta deficiencia. Se definieron dos nuevos sistemas NFHB para clasificación de padrones: NFHB- Invertido y NFHB-Clas. El primero utiliza la arquitectura del modelo NFHB original en el aprendizaje y en seguida la inversión de la arquitectura para la validación de los resultados. La inversión del sistema es un medio para adaptar el nuevo sistema, específicamente a la clasificación, ya que el sistema pasó a tener número de salidas igual al número de clases, al contrario del criterio de intervalo de valores utilizado en el modelo NFHB original. En el sistema NFHB-Clas se utilizó, tanto para la fase de aprendizajeo, cuanto para la fase de validación, el modelo NFHB original invertido. Ambos sistemas poseen el número de salidas igual al número de clases de los padrones, lo que representa una gran diferencia en relación al modelo NFHB original. Además del objetivo de clasificación de padrones, el sistema NFHB-Clas fue capaz de extraer conocimento en forma de reglas fuzzy interpretables. Esas reglas se expresan de la siguiente manera: Si x es A e y es B entonces el padrón pertenece a la clase Z. Se realizó un amplio estudio de casos, utilizando diversas bases de datos Benchmark para la clasificación, tales como: Iris Dataset, Wine Data, Pima Indians Diabetes Database, Bupa Liver Disorders y Heart Disease. Los resultados se compararon con diversos modelos y algoritmos de clasificación de padrones. Los resultados encontrados con los modelos NFHB-Invertido y NFHB-Clas se mostraron, en la mayoría de los casos, superiores o iguales a los mejores resultados encontrados por los otros modelos y algoritmos con los cuales fueron comparados. El desempeño de los modelos NFHB-Invertido y NFHB-Clas en relación al tiempo de procesamiento tambiém se mostró muy bien. Para todas las bases de datos descritas en el estudio de casos (capítulo 8), los modelos convergieron para una solución óptima, además de la extracción de las reglas fuzzy, con tiemp

Full textSupplier selection has a significant influence on the cost, quality and delivery of products of the buying company. Therefore, supplier selection has become a very critical activity to the performance of the buying company. Several studies presented in the literature propose the use of fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to aid the decision process of supplier selection. However, there are no comparative studies of these two methods when applied to the problem of supplier selection. Thus, this paper presents a comparative analysis of the methods fuzzy TOPSIS (Chen, 2000) and fuzzy AHP (Chang, 1996) applied to the problem of supplier selection. A descriptive quantitative approach was adopted as the research method. Algorithms of the methods fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy AHP were developed in Matlab© and applied to the selection of suppliers of a company in the automotive production chain. Five suppliers were evaluated regarding quality of conformance, cost, delivery, profile and relationship. The weight of the criteria and the performance of the suppliers were evaluated by specialist opinion from the studied company. The methods Fuzzy TOPSIS e Fuzzy AHP were compared in terms of ability to support the group decision, supplier qualification, final choice of suppliers, buying situations and modeling decisions under uncertainty. The efficiency of the methods with respect to computational complexity and the required user interaction was also compared. The comparative analysis shows that Fuzzy TOPSIS presents better than Fuzzy AHP performance, especially in scenarios in wich many alternatives are evaluated. Thus, Fuzzy TOPSIS is more flexible and appropriate than Fuzzy AHP to deal with supplier selection problem. This paper presents a new study, comparing the methods Fuzzy TOPSIS and Fuzzy AHP. As commented by Ertugrul and Karakasoglu (2008), a study such as this can contribute to the advance of knowledge, helping researchers and practitioners choosing more effective approaches to supplier selection.

Full textFuzzy control is a rule based type of control that aims to imitate the human's ability to express a control policy using linguistic rules, and to reason using those rules to control a system. Fuzzy control is nonlinear and not dependent on a precise mathematical description of the plant, and is therefore more easily applied to systems such as industrial processes that are hard to model. An overview is given of the fuzzy controller, along with descriptions of applications and theoretical approaches to designing and analyzing the controller.
The selfâ organizing controller is able to generate or modify its rules in real time based on the system performance. It was tested to determine how well it was able to learn a quality control policy. The selfâ organizing controller was found to exhibit poor steady state performance, and to be equally likely to learn poor control as to learn good control. It was not found to eliminate the need for careful tuning of the controller parameters and gains.

Studies have proved that enterprises addressing green supply chain management (GSCM) problem may get apparent improvement to their stockholder interests. According to the report of Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2012, more than 80% of the carbon emissions are generated from the suppliers’ activities in a company’s operation. Many members of the project claimed that they will reassess their suppliers as soon as possible. Therefore, to combine the carbon management issue and supplier evaluating problem turns to be a very crucial task. This study intends to develop a framework of the supplier evaluating process in carbon management by integrating fuzzy ANP and fuzzy TOPSIS approaches. Thirteen criteria of carbon management under four dimensions were identified by literature review and modified according to the opinion of seven experts in environmental department. The model result on a case illustration shows that three of the most important criteria are “Carbon governance,” “Carbon policy” and “Carbon reduction targets.” The proposed hybrid methodology is believed to have great ability explaining the vagueness of decision maker’s expression and has better power of discrimination to evaluating suppliers in carbon management.

Enhancing the competitiveness of a company is essential for an entrprise to survive in the fiercely competitive global environment. The acquisition of advanced technology is one of the usable strategies for a company. However, an ineffective acquisition approach not only jeopardizes the competitiveness of a company but also causes delay for products to enter the market. As a result, the primary issue for an entrprise to consider is how to make the right technology acquisition at the right time to satisfy the need of an entrprise. We propose a mechanism for selecting technology acquisition mode. It is a mechanism for decision-maker to implement a practical decision making. In addition, the success of a strategic decision-making depends on both its proximity to the environment and level of its complexity of the decision-making process. Fuzzy analytical networks process not only handles the dynamic interdependence situation of a decision-making problem but also addresses the vagueness when the decision is made. The supermatrix is applied to handle the dependent situation between the influence level and criteria level. However, the influence level belongs to external factor. The external factor gives the decision-maker a chance to review if the intensity of the motive obtained for the mechanism is consistent with that in his mind. If it is so, it can used to pairwise comparison; on the other hand, it should reconsider the weighting process, too. In this research, the fuzzy ANP is applied to construct a general mechanism for discussion of the technology acquisition problem. Besides, a case study of a tool manufacturing company is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.

To confront the global warming problem and the increase in environmental consciousness, many countries have devised various environmental protection policies. For instance, with the Energy-using Product Directive (2005/32/EC), the European Commission has been addressing energy-using and energy-related products which have a considerable impact on the energy consumption in the market. Therefore, many international companies and original design manufacturing (ODM) manufacturers have aimed to promote green products actively, while the communities are paying attention to the environmental protection of the enterprises. In addition, the international environmental issues have built up some technical non-tariff barriers to trade. Therefore, the traditional supplier selection model is no longer compatible with the environmental requirements. The purpose of this study thus aims to incorporate the concept of carbon reduction and environmental considerations in designing a supplier selection model. The relationships among criteria are determined first by fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (Fuzzy DEMATEL), and fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) model is constructed next to determine the weights of performance criteria and to obtain the overall performance of suppliers. The model can generate a list of criteria which are the most important for firms to assess the performance of suppliers and to give directions for suppliers to improve their performances.

The issue of reducing green house gas (GHG) emission was emphasized in the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen in 2009. The major cause of green house gas is people’s extensive usage of fossil fuel. However, to sustain human cultural development, we need to use less fossil fuel, and consequently, the development of renewable energy becomes an important task. Renewable energy includes wind energy, solar energy, biomass energy, ocean power energy, thermal energy, geothermal energy, hydropower energy, and so on. Solar energy has been developed widely and is one of the most popular energy sources for applications. However, currently solar products suffer a large difficulty in high production cost with low PV conversion efficiency. Hence, how to develop new solar product is an important issue. This research aims to construct an integrated NPD model for a solar module company to understand the critcal factors in the new product development. A comprehensive literature review is performed first to understand the customer needs of solar modules from solar assembly companies. Because fuzziness and uncertainty often exist in experts’ evaluation process, this research adopts Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to select the most critical factors. Next, Fuzzy DEMATEL is applied to clarify the interrelationship among factors. Finally, Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) and Qualify Function Deployment (QFD) are used to calculate the weights of the engineering characteristics. The results can be references for solar cell NPD in the industry in the future.

Owing to the impact of the knowledge economy industry globalization nowadays, enterprises must depend on continuous exploration of knowledge, sharing, application and innovation to strengthen its competition advantages. Then, the goal of improving management performance may be achieved. But in facing of the ongoing challenges and impacts from knowledge economies, the planning and constructing of knowledge management stratagems show more important to enterprise. Therefore, this research combines three methods, the Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (FQFD), Analytic Network Process (ANP), and Zero-One Goal Programming (ZOGP), to investigate and understand the attribute that knowledge management process value. Finally, an example is presented as a substantial analysis model to explain the application of the methodology provided in this research to planners. Hope that this also offers a comprehensive reference to knowledge management technique criterion factors estimate and choice decision-makers. The technique characteristics that knowledge management technique criterion factors estimate and choice model offers through the integration of FQFD, ANP, and ZOGP are threefold: The technique characteristic chosen in knowledge acquiring process are the ability to acquire the knowledge about the market demand to the company, to define the knowledge of company/department, and to apply the methods of analytic statistics. The technique characteristic chosen in knowledge transferring process are having the ability on complete stratagems and policies of human resource (HR), accommodating HR to the design and development of the organization/system, matching employees’ specialty with his/her profession/career, planning integrated training education, establishing sane employee learning system. The technique characteristic chosen in knowledge applying process is the ability to stretch the knowledge of the company/department.
