Fuzzy Multiple Objective Decision Making: Methods and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of crisp, fuzzy and possibilistic multiple objective decision making are first systematically and thoroughly reviewed and classified. This state-of-the-art survey provides readers with a capsule look into the existing methods, and their characteristics and applicability to analysis of fuzzy and possibilistic programming problems. To realize practical fuzzy modelling, it presents solutions for real-world problems including production/manufacturing, location, logistics, environment management, banking/finance, personnel, marketing, accounting, agriculture economics and data analysis. This book is a guided tour through the literature in the rapidly growing fields of operations research and decision making and includes the most up-to-date bibliographical listing of literature on the topic.Written by authorities in Decision-Making & Problem Solving, Fuzzy Multiple Objective Decision Making: Methods and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems) by Young-Jou Lai and Ching-Lai Hwang provides an excellent foundation for Decision-Making & Problem Solving studies. Young-Jou Lai and Ching-Lai Hwang's style is excellently suited towards Decision-Making & Problem Solving studies, and will teach students the material clearly without overcomplicating the subject. What's more, the text is available in the Paperback format shown above (ISBN 9783540575955), as well as a number of other formats. As of April 1996, this revision raises the bar for Fuzzy Multiple Objective Decision Making: Methods and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)'s high standard of excellence, making sure that it stays one of the foremost Decision-Making & Problem Solving studies textbooks
