In this paper, we propose a novel balanced scorecard design based on fuzzy analytic network process and then conduct performance evaluation through a case study. After analyzing the related works about balanced scorecard design and the algorithm of fuzzy analytic network process, we illustrate the improved balanced scorecard design. Firstly, the basic concepts for the balanced scorecards are in...

Intelligent control has become an issue of primary importance in modern process automation as it provides the prerequisites for the task of fault detection. The ability to detect the faults is essential to improve reliability and security of a complex control system. Parameter estimation methods, state observation schemes, statistical likelihood ratio tests, rule-based expert system reasoning, ...

Fuzzy logic is a modeling method well suited for the control of complex and non-linear systems. This paper illustrates some of the power of fuzzy logic through a simple control example. For the analytical chemist, fuzzy logic incorporates imprecision from measurement noise as well as from linguistic process descriptions to produce operational control systems.

− This paper presents a proposed neural fuzzy network tuned by genetic algorithm (GA). By introducing a switch to each rule, the optimal number of rules can be learned. The membership functions of the neural fuzzy network are also tuned by GA. After training, the proposed neural fuzzy network is employed to interpret graffiti number inputs and commands for Electronic Books (eBooks). I. INTRODUC...

Supplier evaluation and selection constitutes a central issue in supply chain management (SCM). However, the data on which to base the corresponding choices in real life problems are often imprecise or vague, which has led to the introduction of fuzzy approaches. Predictive intelligent-based techniques, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), h...
