Grey system theory is a mathematical technique used to predict data with known and unknown characteristics. The aim of our research is to forecast the future amount of technical reserves (outstanding claims reserve, loss ratio fluctuations reserve and unearned premiums reserve) up to 2029/2030. This study applies the Grey Model GM(1,1) using data obtained from the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) over the period from 2005/2006 to 2015/2016 for non-life Egyptian insurance market. We found that the predicted amounts of outstanding claims reserve and loss ratio fluctuations reserve are highly significant than the unearned premiums reserve according to the value of Posterior Error Ratio (PER).

To decrease the influence of outlier on the measurement of tooth profiles, this paper proposes a method of outlier detection and correction based on the grey system theory. After studying the characteristics of outliers from the deviations of tooth profiles, this paper proposes a preprocessing method for the modeling data which include abnormal value, and establishes an outlier detection and correction model for the deviations of tooth profiles. Simulation results show that the precision of ONDGM(1,1)(one order and one variable non-homogenous discrete grey model whose outlier is processed by the preprocessing method proposed in this paper) is higher than that of NDGM(1,1)(one order and one variable non-homogenous discrete grey model), and the ONDGM(1,1) is more suitable than the NDGM(1,1) for dealing with the outliers from the deviations of tooth profiles. The experiment results show that the outlier detection and correction model detects and corrects the outliers from the deviations of tooth profiles, and the correction value of the outlier is basically in accordance with the actual deviation. Therefore, the method of outlier detection and correction decreases the influence of outlier and improves the precision in the measurement of tooth profiles.

Based on the grey system theory, and combined with the construction features of cable-stayed bridges and construction control method, the paper takes the cable-stayed bridge under construction as the interferential grey technology system with physical prototype and analyzes the random process as grey process in line with grey system theory. The grey model is established by the initialize heights of main girder and cables’ tension as two control inputs of system during the construction of the cable-stayed bridge. Through the feedback information and rectifying the grey model, the initialize heights of main girder and the cable force of next construction stage are predicted in order to control the bridge configuration and cable tension successfully.

Any study of the development of the economy must take into account the role of the electricity sector. This is the sector promoting production, improving competitiveness, and attracting investment. With the motto "electricity goes one step ahead," the power sector has contributed to the restructuring of the industry, economic recovery and growth, security and defense. Specifically, agriculture, forestry and fishery production activities of rural and mountainous areas have been oriented toward commodity and export markets. Improved services and quality of electricity have encouraged domestic and foreign businesses to be comfortable and expand their production. This study will provide some insights after combining the results of Data Envelopment Analysis and Grey System Theory – GM(1,1). Using Data Envelopment Analysis, the researcher input some performance attributes, classify them as inputs and outputs, and then use them for Data Envelopment Analysis researches. For evaluating this industry, the researcher used Malmquist Productivity Index from 2012 to 2016 and used GM (1,1) for forecasting, which provides better “Past – Present – Future” insights for decision makers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a site selection method using grey system theory for a desalination plant in Libya. Design/methodology/approach In order to tackle incompleteness and imprecision of human’s judgments, grey numbers were used. This work uses a grey-based approach to represent decision makers’ comparison judgments and extent analysis method to select the best site. Therefore, a real case study of a selection problem of a site selection of desalination plant in Libya was used to illustrate the proposed approach. Findings Site selection in a desalination plant can be one of the most important decisions in planning a desalination project. The decision affects both the project cost and potentially the project schedule. Based on the results of grey model, a clear order of these sites and the degree of preference are obtained. This paper presents a way to improve a site selection by using a grey model, especially in a complex environment like Libya. Originality/value To the best knowledge of the authors, there is no literature for site selection using grey system theory in a desalination plant in Libya. This attempt may well enhance and facilitate the decision-making process of the best site in the country involved in this research.

The complexity of fatigue phenomenon results in the difficulty of fatigue life prediction. The fatigue phenomenon is treated as being in a grey system. By using of grey system theory, a new method for fatigue life prediction based on grey model GM(1,1) is proposed. Results of the example show that the prediction error can be reduced from 61.55% to 24.32%, and the prediction is on the safe side. Therefore, it is proved that the method is practical and useful for fatigue life prediction in engineering.

Grey model GM(1,1) is applied to forecast flight training time. The discreteness of originality data is overcome and the high-precise predicted result is received under the condition of a small amount of data. This paper takes a short-term forecast flight training time of Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) by using grey system theory. With a comparison of the actual data to the forecast result, it is proved that using grey system theory to forecast the flight training time of Civil Aviation Flight University of China is feasible with relatively high prediction accuracy.

The wafer-level packaging process is an important technology used in semiconductor manufacturing, and how to effectively control this manufacturing system is thus an important issue for packaging firms. One way to aid in this process is to use a forecasting tool. However, the number of observations collected in the early stages of this process is usually too few to use with traditional forecasting techniques, and thus inaccurate results are obtained. One potential solution to this problem is the use of grey system theory, with its feature of small dataset modeling. This study thus uses the AGM(1,1) grey model to solve the problem of forecasting in the pilot run stage of the packaging process. The experimental results show that the grey approach is an appropriate and effective forecasting tool for use with small datasets and that it can be applied to improve the wafer-level packaging process.
