This paper constructs a four factors theoretical model of Chinese small and medium enterprises based on the “cartoon characters’ reputation enterprise marketing and management capabilities – protection of the cartoon image institutional environment” by literature research, case studies and investigation. The empirical study show that the greatest impact on current merchandising rights income is...

Uncertainties in a control system may be the results modeling errors, measurement errors, parameter variations and a linearization approximation. Most physical dynamical systems and industrial process can be described as discrete time uncertain subsystems. Similarly, the unavoidable computation delay may cause a delay time, which can be considered as timedelay in the input part of the original ...

The purpose of this study is to develop a decision making model based on the grey relational analysis for supplier selection. Using a multi-criteria decision making approach, the grey system theory has been used to capture the complexity inherent in supplier selection process. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, an integrated, two-phase model is proposed which int...

Supplier selection is a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem that is affected by quantitative and qualitative factors, some of which may conflict with each other. Since most of the input information is not known accurately, selecting the right suppliers becomes more difficult. Grey theory is one of the new mathematical methods used to analyze systems with uncertain and incomplete info...

Grey relational analysis (GRA) is a vital instrument suitable for optimal selection which can be used for modelling, forecasting and decision making. Grey theory gives reliable solution of systems in which the model is poor with little or incomplete information. This paper aims to use GRA for solving Multi Criteria Robot Selection Problems (MCRSPs). In this paper, GRA steps are implemented usin...

In this paper, the authors discuss problem of influence level electrification in African countries on their sustainable development. The first aim article is to determine relationship between changes index and indicators showing individual components development for countries. analyzed include GDP per capita, Human Deveopment Index (HDI), CO2 emissions capita indicator. second goal was develop ...

This paper evaluates the human resource information systems provided by different vendors using two new hybrid multicriteria decision-making methods that require ordinal data as inputs. First, grey-point-allocation full-consistency (Grey-PA-FUCOM) weighting method is proposed. The Grey-PA-FUCOM combines simple point-allocation widely used managers and advanced FUCOM accepted scholars in grey sy...

The grey theory mainly works on systems analysis with poor, incomplete or uncertain messages. The popular grey model, GM(1,1) is efficient for long-term port throughput forecasting. However, it is imperfect when the throughput increases in the curve with S type or the increment of throughput is in the saturation stage. In this case, the throughput forecasting error of grey system model will bec...

fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: lyapunov stability (a special case ...

The theory of grey systems plays an important role in science, engineering and in the everyday life in general for handling approximate data. In the present paper grey numbers are used as a tool for assessing with linguistic expressions the mean performance of a group of objects participating in a certain activity. Two applications to student and football player assessment are also presented il...
