Optimizing a Production Line
The simple production line considered in this chapter is shown in Fig. 20.1. This problem has been adapted from an example in [1]. This situation is...

Queuing I: One-Step Calculations
In this chapter we show situations where simulation can produce the same results as fuzzy calculations which employ the extension principle. We argue...

Simulation Programs
In this chapter we present some of the GPSS programs used in Chaps. 9–26. We had to omit many programs in order to keep this chapter. less that 20...

Summary and Conclusions
The first objective of this book is to explain how many systems naturally become fuzzy systems. The second objective is to show how regular (crisp)...

Machine Shop I
The queuing system in this chapter is shown in Fig. 11.1. This application was adopted from a problem in ([1], p.594). We continue this problem in...

Inventory Control II
This chapter continues the inventory control problem studied in the previous chapter. The new system is shown in Fig. 17.1. We have added two things...
-
Project Network Model
The project network diagram is in Fig. 26.1. This problem is modelled after an example in [2]. The project consists of various jobs that must be...

Queuing II: No One-Step Calculations
In this chapter we will study the fuzzy system shown in Fig. 5.1 now reproduced as Fig. 9.1. This example was adapted from an example in [1]. The...
