This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, a tremendous growth in the popularity and applications of computers in manufacturing has occurred. Computer aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, flexible manufacturing systems, group technology and many others are considered by many manufacturing executives as the most promising technologies and philosophies that, if successfully implemented, can reduce costs and enable the US manufacturing companies to become more competitive in the global market. In the computer-integrated manufacturing environ ment, the decision processes are often more involved. The decision makers are frequently required to have access to a vast amount of data to support and analyze their complex decision problems at strategic and tactical levels. Decision support systems are often referred to as computer-based information technologies that allow the decision makers to interactively communicate and solve the decision problems. Manufacturing Decision Support Systems is intended to report the latest developments and address the central issues in this area. This volume consists of 14 refereed chapters, written by leading researchers from academia and industry.

Download or read book Decision Support System for Mobile Phone Selection Utilizing Fuzzy Hypersoft Sets and Machine Learning written by Muhammad Tahir Hamid and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dynamic landscape of mobile technology, where a myriad of options burgeons, compounded by fluctuating features, diverse price points, and a plethora of specifications, the task of selecting the optimum mobile phone becomes formidable for consumers. This complexity is further exacerbated by the intrinsic ambiguity and uncertainty characterizing consumer preferences. Addressed herein is the deployment of fuzzy hypersoft sets (FHSS) in conjunction with machine learning techniques to forge a decision support system (DSS) that refines the mobile phone selection process. The proposed framework harnesses the synergy between FHSS and machine learning to navigate the multifaceted nature of consumer choices and the attributes of the available alternatives, thereby offering a structured approach aimed at maximizing consumer satisfaction while accommodating various determinants. The integration of FHSS is pivotal in managing the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of consumer preferences, providing a comprehensive decision-making apparatus amidst a plethora of choices. The elucidation of this study encompasses an easy-to-navigate framework, buttressed by sophisticated Python codes and algorithms, to ameliorate the selection process. This methodology engenders a personalized and engaging avenue for mobile phone selection in an ever-evolving technological epoch. The fidelity to professional terminologies and their consistent application throughout this discourse, as well as in subsequent sections of the study, underscores the meticulous approach adopted to ensure clarity and precision. This study contributes to the extant literature by offering a novel framework that melds the principles of fuzzy set (FS) theory with advanced computational techniques, thereby facilitating a nuanced decision-making process in the realm of mobile phone selection.
