In this paper, a system consisting of single multi-state element (MSE) with performance rates and transition intensities presented as fuzzy values is introduced. Due to the lack, inaccuracy or fluctuation of collected data, it is often too difficult to evaluate the performance rates and transition intensities of multi-state element/system with precise value, especially in the continuous degrada...

In this paper, developed a new multi-product, multi-period, and multi-level closed-loop green supply chain planning model under uncertain conditions. The formulated model consists of five objective functions, which minimize the cost of the supply chain, minimize the CO2 emission of transportation vehicles, maximize the reliability of manufacturing and distribution centers, maximize t...

This paper deals with fuzzy goal programming approach to multi-objective linear plus linear fractional programming problem based on Taylor series approximation. In the model formulation of the problem, we first construct the membership functions by determining individual optimal solutions of the objective functions subject to the system constraints. The membership functions are then transformed...

This paper presents priority based fuzzy goal programming approach to multi-objective quadratic programming problem. In the proposed approach, we construct the quadratic membership functions by determining the individual best solution of the objective functions subject to the system constraints. The quadratic membership functions are then transformed into equivalent linear membership functions ...

In this paper, a new concept of the fuzzy stability set of the first kind for multi-level multi-objective fractional programming (ML-MOFP) problems having a single-scalar parameter in the objective functions and fuzziness in the right-hand side of the constraints has been introduced. Firstly, A parametric ML-MOFP model with crisp set of constraints is established based on the -cut approach. Sec...

The objective of the study is to compute various reliability parameters for multi-robotic system, using Real Coded Genetic Algorithms (RCGAs) and Fuzzy Lambda-Tau Methodology (FLTM). The paper contains a new idea about the reliability analysis of robotic system. The optimal values of mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) are obtained using GAs. Petri Net (PN) tool is ...

Lifetime data are important in reliability analysis. Classical reliability estimation is based on precise lifetime data. It is usually assumed that observed lifetime data are precise real numbers. However, some collected lifetime data might be imprecise and are represented in the form of fuzzy numbers. Thus, it is necessary to generalize classical statistical estimation methods for real numbers...

generally, an engineering design problem has multiple objective functions. some of these problems can be formulated as multiobjective geometric programming models. on the other hand,often in the real world, coefficients of the objective functions are not known precisely. coefficients may be interpreted as fuzzy numbers, which lead to a multiobjective geometric programming with fuzzy parameters....

In this paper a multi - objective linear fractional programming problem with the fuzzy variables and vector of fuzzy resources is studied and an algorithm based on a parametric approach is proposed. The proposed solving procedure is based on the parametric approach to find the solution, which provides the decision maker with more complete information in line with reality. The simplicity of the ...
