Management Problems in Uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
The problems that arise in businesses and institutions are currently immersed in a clear context of uncertainty. The solution to these problems is forever getting more difficult, if we are committed to the use of formal treatment valid for the sphere of certainty and in situations in which the required conditions are complied with for the use of probabilistic elements. The theory of fuzzy sub-sets and their multiple variations, the development of which has been quite spectacular during latter decades, has certain characteristics that makes them perfectly adequate for these needs. For more than 25 years now we have been working on the creation and use of a methodology that is supported by this theory in order to arrive at an adequate treatment for economic-financial events in business reality. The result is, we believe, hopeful, since apart from providing theoretical solutions to specific problems, it has been possible to form a body of knowledge with a solid structure.

Reform by reflection: Schön’s legacy to management practice in times of uncertainty
In this paper, we revisit Donald Schön’s scholarly work on “handling uncertainty”, suggesting that in order to cope reasonably well with uncertainty, practitioners should be encouraged to take a reflective existential stance, aimed to explore their own tacit personal style (i.e., theories-in-use). They should (i) recall and reflect on their theories-in-use to bear on the phenomenon, (ii) metaph...
متن کاملIntegration of QFD, AHP, and LPP methods in supplier development problems under uncertainty
Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven approach, widely used to develop or process new product to maximize customer satisfaction. Last researches used linear physical programming (LPP) procedure to optimize QFD; however, QFD issue involved uncertainties, or fuzziness, which requires taking them into account for more realistic study. In this paper, a set of fuzzy data is used to ...
متن کاملA Robust Optimization Methodology for Multi-objective Location-transportation Problem in Disaster Response Phase under Uncertainty
This paper presents a multi-objective model for location-transportation problem under uncertainty that has been developed to respond to crisis. In the proposed model, humanitarian aid distribution centers (HADC), the number and location of them, the amount of relief goods stored in distribution centers, the amount of relief goods sent to the disaster zone, the number of injured people transferr...
متن کاملOptimal energy management of microgrid in day-ahead and intra-day markets using a copula-based uncertainty modeling method
Recently, economic and environmental problems have created a strong attitude toward utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs). Nevertheless, uncertainty of wind and solar power leads to a more complicated energy management (EM) of RESs in microgrids. This paper models and solves the EM problem of microgrid from the generation point of view. To do this, mathematical formulation of a grid- connec...
متن کاملDevelopment of closed-loop supply chain mathematical model (cost-benefit-environmental effects) under uncertainty conditions by approach of genetic algorithm
In the current world, the debate on the reinstatement and reuse of consumer prod-ucts has become particularly important. Since the supply chain of the closed loop is not only a forward flow but also a reverse one; therefore, companies creating integ-rity between direct and reverse supply chain are successful. The purpose of this study is to develop a new mathematical model for closed loop suppl...
