Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness by Cengiz Kahraman

Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness by Cengiz Kahraman

Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

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.
Dr. Eda Bolturk received her BSc degree in Industrial Engineering from Istanbul Commerce University and her MSc degree in Industrial Engineering from Istanbul Technical University. She was a Ph.D. student at Politecnico di Milano in Energy Department in Italy between 2013 and 2014. She received her Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering from Istanbul Technical University on fuzzy decision making. Her research areas are fuzzy logic, decision making, forecasting and risk management. She published more than 50 papers in international journals and chapters in international books. She organized some international conferences on fuzzy logic.
