Nowadays, in order to reach minimum production cost in machining operations, various optimization methods have been proposed. Since turning operation has different parameters affecting the workpiece quality, it was selected as a complicated manufacturing method in this paper. To reach sufficient quality, all influencing parameters such as cutting speed, federate, depth of cut and tool rake angl...

Accurate prediction of the future electricity consumption is crucial for production electricity management. Since the storage of electrical energy is very difficult, reliable and accurate prediction of power consumption is important. Different approaches for this purpose were used. In this paper, Grey model (1,1) based on grey system theory has been used for forecasting results. Annual electric...

Abstract This author introduces the concept of Stepwise Strategy Approach (SSA) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. This new idea is combined with the knowledge of Grey Theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. Grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...

An on-line rule tuning grey prediction fuzzy control system is present in this paper, which contains the advantage of the grey prediction, fuzzy theory and the on-line tuning algorithm. The on-line rule tuning grey prediction fuzzy control system structure is constructed so that the rise time and the overshoot of the controlled system can be maintained simultaneously. Keyword: Grey predictor, F...

Grey systems and interval valued fuzzy sets appear to be similar concepts. This abstract provides a brief introduction to grey systems and compares them to interval valued fuzzy sets. We argue that grey system is similar to an interval fuzzy set, but has different properties. Grey systems focus on the interval range of the system property itself, but interval fuzzy sets consider the fuzzy membe...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advance new rules about operations of grey numbers. Design/methodology/approach – The paper first puts forward the definitions of basic element of grey number and general grey number. The operation axiom, operation rules of general grey numbers and a new algebraic system for general grey numbers are built based on the “kernel” and the degree of greyness...

this prioritization of the projects in the organization is a multi-criteria decision making (mcdm) that because of the uncertainties existing in experts judgments, these cannot be represented accurately with numbers. the scope of this research is the introduction of the grey system theory (grey possibility degree method) and application in ranking strategic organizational projects in an uncerta...

If there are grey variables in the constraint conditions in uncertain programming, the programming is called grey chance constrained programming. In this paper we provide the concept of grey chance constrained programming. When the whitenization weight functions of grey variables are known and the distribution functions are constructed, we studied the certainty equivalence solution of grey chan...
