Fuzzy Engineering Economics with Applications by Cengiz Kahraman

Fuzzy Engineering Economics with Applications by Cengiz Kahraman

Fuzzy set approaches are suitable to use when the modeling of human knowledge is necessary and when human evaluations are needed. Fuzzy set theory is recognized as an important problem modeling and solution technique. It has been studied ext- sively over the past 40 years. Most of the early interest in fuzzy set theory pertained to representing uncertainty in human cognitive processes. Fuzzy set theory is now - plied to problems in engineering, business, medical and related health sciences, and the natural sciences. This book handles the fuzzy cases of classical engineering e- nomics topics. It contains 15 original research and application chapters including different topics of fuzzy engineering economics. When no probabilities are available for states of nature, decisions are given under uncertainty. Fuzzy sets are a good tool for the operation research analyst facing unc- tainty and subjectivity. The main purpose of the first chapter is to present the role and importance of fuzzy sets in the economic decision making problem with the literature review of the most recent advances.

Professor Cengiz Kahraman is a full professor of Industrial Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. His research areas are engineering economics, quality management, statistical decision making, multicriteria decision making, and fuzzy decision making. He published about 260 journal papers and 200 conference papers. He is the editor of many international books from Springer and the editorial board member in 20 international journals. He is the Editor-in Chief of Journal of Fuzzy Logic and Modeling in Engineering published by Bentham Science. He is also the chair of INFUS (Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems) conferences.
