Fuzzy TOPSIS method with ordered fuzzy numbers for flow control in a manufacturing system

The aim of the paper is to present a practical solution to a particular real-life problem of discrete flow control in a manufacturing system. For this purpose a fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method, which is an extension of the Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) approach using Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (OFNs), is used. The paper includes a case study of the application of this method as a...
