Features: This book is written for students majoring in Industrial Engineering and Management. One of its features is the clear and concise explanation of concepts and principles without delving into complex mathematical proofs. After studying this book, readers will recognize the existence of numerous fuzzy phenomena in the objective world and will develop a new way of thinking and the ability to handle fuzzy events. Another feature is its close integration with practical industrial engineering, with examples provided in each chapter. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply fuzzy principles to solve real-world problems in industrial engineering, laying a foundation for further study in fuzzy theory and its applications in industrial engineering and management. The book introduces the fuzzy nature of things and the basic principles for handling them. It naturally transitions from classical set theory to fuzzy set theory, explaining the determination of membership functions. The second part covers the fundamental concepts and methods of fuzzy theory, including fuzzy pattern recognition, fuzzy clustering analysis, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, fuzzy engineering management and control, fuzzy forecasting and decision-making, etc. The book concludes with a brief introduction to the latest advancements in fuzzy technology. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate or graduate students in industrial engineering and management at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for students in other disciplines.
