An Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Distribution Network

چکیده
Planning resources for a supply chain is a major factor determining its success or failure. In this paper we introduce an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic model of a distribution network. It is believed that the additional degree of uncertainty provided by Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic will allow for better representation of the uncertainty and vagueness present in resource planning models. First, the subject of Supply Chain Management is introduced, then some background is given on related work using Type-1 Fuzzy Logic. A description of the Interval Type-2 Fuzzy model is given, and a test scenario detailed. A Genetic Algorithm uses the model to search for a near-optimal plan for the scenario. A discussion of the results follows, along with conclusions and details of intended further work. Keywords— Distribution model, Evolutionary Computing, Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic, Resource Planning, Supply Chain Manage-

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...
متن کاملA Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems
Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...
