scholarly journals Group Replacement Strategy under Fuzzy Methods

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers play an active role in finding an optimal solution for replacement problems under vague and uncertain situations. This paper gives a group replacement policy under fuzzy environment. Here all the costs and the number of units are taken as Triangular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (TIFNs). An example is used for illustration of the policy

To the extent of our knowledge, there is no method in fuzzy environment to solving the fully LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problems (LR-IFTPs) in which all the parameters are represented by LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LR-IFNs). In this paper, a novel ranking function is proposed to finding an optimal solution of fully LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem by using the distance minimizer of two LR-IFNs. It is shown that the proposed ranking method for LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers satisfies the general axioms of ranking functions. Further, we have applied ranking approach to solve an LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem in which all the parameters (supply, cost and demand) are transformed into LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed method is illustrated with a numerical example to show the solution procedure and to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method by comparison with some existing ranking methods available in the literature.

The aim of this paper is to develop a method for ranking trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) in the process of decision making in the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Firstly, the concept of TrIFNs is introduced. Arithmetic operations and cut sets over TrIFNs are investigated. Then, the values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the nonmembership degree for TrIFNs are defined as well as the value-index and ambiguity-index. Finally, a value and ambiguity-based ranking method is developed and applied to solve multiattribute decision making problems in which the ratings of alternatives on attributes are expressed using TrIFNs. A numerical example is examined to demonstrate the implementation process and applicability of the method proposed in this paper. Furthermore, comparison analysis of the proposed method is conducted to show its advantages over other similar methods.

The technique of limiting expenditure plays a critical part in an organization's ability to govern the smooth operation of its management system. The economic order quantity (EOQ) is calculated by solving a nonlinear problem, and the best solution is investigated in a fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The overall cost is made up of several factors, such as demand, holding, and ordering costs. The demand and stock-out characteristics were both fuzzified using fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The numerical analysis shows the comparison between the two fuzzy numbers through sensitivity analysis.

In this paper, Normalized Weighted Bonferroni Mean (NWBM) and Normalized Weighted Bonferroni Harmonic Mean (NWBHM) aggregation operators are proposed. Besides, we check the properties thereof, which include idempotency, monotonicity, commutativity, and boundedness. As the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used as a basis for the decision making to effectively handle the real-life uncertainty, we extend the NWBM and NWBHM operators into the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. By further modifying the NWBHM, we propose additional aggregation operators, namely the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Normalized Weighted Bonferroni Harmonic Mean (IFNWBHM) and the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Ordered Normalized Weighted Bonferroni Harmonic Mean (IFNONWBHM). The paper winds up with an empirical example of multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) based on triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. To serve this end, we apply the IFNWBHM aggregation operator.

In the present day by day life circumstances TP we habitually face the circumstance of unreliability in addition to unwillingness due to various unmanageable segments. To deal with unreliability and unwillingness multiple researchers have recommended the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) delineation for material. This paper proposes the approach used by generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number to solve these transport problem, i.e. capacity and demand are considered as real numbers and charge of transport from origin to destination is considered as generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as charge of product per unit. The generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers ranking function is used on the basis of IFN'S centroid of centroids. Through the traditional optimization process, we generate primary basic feasible solution and foremost solution. The numerical illustration shows efficacy of technique being suggested. A fresh technique is implemented to seek foremost solution using ranking function of a fuzzy TP of generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. Without finding a IBFS, this approach explicitly provides optimal solution for GTrIFTP. Finally, for ranking function we apply a proposed GTrIFTP method illustrated Numerical example.

The correlation coefficient of variables has wide applications in statistics and is often calculated in crisp or fuzzy environment. This article extends the application of correlation coefficient to intuitionistic fuzzy environment. In this article, a new method is proposed to measure the correlation coefficient of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers using weakest triangular norm based intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations. Different from previous studies, the correlation coefficient computed in this article is an intuitionistic fuzzy number rather than a crisp or fuzzy number. It is well known that the weakest t-norm arithmetic operations effectively reduce fuzzy spreads (fuzzy intervals) and provide more exact results. Therefore, a simplified, effective and exact method based on weakest t-norm arithmetic operations is presented to compute the correlation coefficient of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. To illustrate the proposed method, the correlation coefficient between the technology level and management achievement from a sample of 15 machinery firms in Taiwan is calculated using proposed approach.

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) are a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new decision making method based on possibility variance coefficient to solve the multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, in which the attribute values are in the form of TIFNs and the weight preference information is incomplete. The possibility mean, variance and standard deviation for a TIFN are introduced as well as the possibility variance coefficient. Hereby, a new method to rank TIFNs is given on the basis of the possibility variance coefficients. The bi-objective mathematical programming, which minimizes the possibility variance coefficients of membership and non-membership functions for alternative's overall attribute values, is constructed. Using the max-min method, two non-linear fractional programming models are transformed into the linear programming models through the Charnes and Cooper transformation. Thus, the Pareto optimal solution to the bi-objective mathematical programming can be derived by solving the single-objective programming model. The ranking order of alternatives is obtained according to the minimum possibility variance coefficients. A personal selection example is given to verify the developed method and to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness. The analysis of comparison with other method is also conducted.

In this paper, we first give the formula of possibility degree to rank the Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Two methods called Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy weighted average (IFWA) and Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric mean (IFWGM) are developed to solve the multiple attribute decision making problems under Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy environment, in which the performance ratings of alternatives and relative importance of attributes are expressed with Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The IFWA and IFWGM methods, respectively, are treated as an auxiliary pair of fractional programming models and two linear programming (LP) solution procedures are proposed simultaneously by using Charnes and Cooper transformation. Furthermore, two algorithms which are based on the IFWA and IFWGM models, respectively, are developed to solve Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy decision making problems where attribute values and weights of attributes are all in Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The order relationship between IFWA and IFWGM are investigated. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
