TLDR
This paper provides a survey of the application of fuzzy set theory in production management research, and identifies selected bibliographies on fuzzy sets and applications.Abstract:
Fuzzy set theory has been used to model systems that are hard to define precisely. As a methodology, fuzzy set theory incorporates imprecision and subjectivity into the model formulation and solution process. Fuzzy set theory represents an attractive tool to aid research in production management when the dynamics of the production environment limit the specification of model objectives, constraints and the precise measurement of model parameters. This paper provides a survey of the application of fuzzy set theory in production management research. The literature review that we compiled consists of 73 journal articles and nine books. A classification scheme for fuzzy applications in production management research is defined. We also identify selected bibliographies on fuzzy sets and applications.read more

A modular fuzzy inference system approach in integrating qualitative and quantitative analysis of store image
Ling-Zhong Lin,Tsuen-Ho Hsu +1 more
TL;DR: A fuzzy inference system is proposed as an alternative approach to handle effectively the impreciseness and uncertainty that are normally found in store image selection processes and the proposed decision-making model is application to modified stimulus–organism–response (S–O–R) framework for integrating qualitative and quantitative analysis.
