Abstract:

In most manufacturing processes, each product may contain a variety of quality characteristics which are of the interest to be optimized simultaneously through determination of the optimum setting of controllable factors. Although, classic experimental design presents some solutions for this regard, in a fuzzy environment, and in cases where the response data follow non-normal distributions, the available methods do not apply any more. In this paper, a general framework is introduced in which NORTA inverse transformation technique and fuzzy goal programming are used to deal with non-normality distribution of the response data and the fuzziness of response targets respectively. Moreover, the presented framework uses a simulation approach to investigate the effectiveness of the determined setting of controllable factors obtained from statistical analysis, for optimization of sink mark index, deflection rate and volumetric shrinkage in plastic molding manufacturing processes. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified through a real case study.

A goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems

 We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...

Quadratic bi-level programming problems: a fuzzy goal programming approach

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) methodology for solving bi-level quadratic programming (BLQP) problems. In the FGP model formulation, firstly the objectives are transformed into fuzzy goals (membership functions) by means of assigning an aspiration level to each of them, and suitable membership function is defined for each objectives, and also the membership functions for vec...

An iterative method for tri-level quadratic fractional programming problems using fuzzy goal programming approach

Tri-level optimization problems are optimization problems with three nested hierarchical structures, where in most cases conflicting objectives are set at each level of hierarchy. Such problems are common in management, engineering designs and in decision making situations in general, and are known to be strongly NP-hard. Existing solution methods lack universality in solving these types of pro...

A NEW APPROACH FOR SOLVING FULLY FUZZY QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

Quadratic programming (QP) is an optimization problem wherein one minimizes (or maximizes) a quadratic function of a finite number of decision variable subject to a finite number of linear inequality and/ or equality constraints. In this paper, a quadratic programming problem (FFQP) is considered in which all cost coefficients, constraints coefficients, and right hand side are characterized by ...
