TL;DR: This paper uses membership function matrices associated with fuzzy c-partitions of X, together with their values in the Euclidean (matrix) norm, to formulate an a posteriori method for evaluating algorithmically suggested clusterings of X.
Abstract: Given a finite, unlabelled set of real vectors X, one often presumes the existence of (c) subsets (clusters) in X, the members of which somehow bear more similarity to each other than to members of adjoining clusters. In this paper, we use membership function matrices associated with fuzzy c-partitions of X, together with their values in the Euclidean (matrix) norm, to formulate an a posteriori method for evaluating algorithmically suggested clusterings of X. Several numerical examples are offered in support of the proposed technique.

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy extended analytic hierarchy process (FEAHP) based methodology is discussed to tackle the different decision criteria like cost, quality, service performance and supplier's profile including the risk factors involved in the selection of global supplier in the current business scenario.
Abstract: Global supplier development is a multi-criterion decision problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors. The global supplier selection problem is more complex than domestic one and it needs more critical analysis. The aim of this paper is to identify and discuss some of the important and critical decision criteria including risk factors for the development of an efficient system for global supplier selection. Fuzzy extended analytic hierarchy process (FEAHP) based methodology will be discussed to tackle the different decision criteria like cost, quality, service performance and supplier's profile including the risk factors involved in the selection of global supplier in the current business scenario. FEAHP is an efficient tool to handle the fuzziness of the data involved in deciding the preferences of different decision variables. The linguistic level of comparisons produced by the customers and experts for each comparison are tapped in the form triangular fuzzy numbers to construct fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrices. The implementation of the system is demonstrated by a problem having four stages of hierarchy which contains different criteria and attributes at wider perspective. The proposed model can provide not only a framework for the organization to select the global supplier but also has the capability to deploy the organization's strategy to its supplier.

TL;DR: It is shown that unfuzzy nondominated solutions to the decision-making problem exist, provided the original fuzzy relation satisfies some topological requirements, and a simple method of calculating these solutions is indicated.
