An Investment Decision using Fuzzy Logic to select a Production Line
Abstract
The paper presents a decision-making case study: the choice of a production line for natural juices, among 10 offers com-ing from 5 countries. 6 performance criteria are applied, some of them being fuzzy. Two solutions are provided: a conventional one, based on the affiliation degrees calculus and a fuzzy-interpolative one.References
