This study proposes a multiobjective fuzzy nonlinear programming (MOFNP) approach to enhance the long-term yield competitiveness of a semiconductor manufacturing factory. By modeling the long-term competitiveness of every product in a semiconductor manufacturing plant with the fuzzy correlation coefficient (FCC) between time and instantaneous competitiveness, the proposed model considers the various viewpoints when interpreting the overall competitiveness of the semiconductor manufacturing plant in the long-term. All noninferior solutions of the MOFNP solutions are then derived using a systematic procedure. A real example is employed to illustrate the applicability of the proposed methodology.

Fuzzy Nonlinear Programming

In theory, a scheduling problem can be formulated as a mathematical programming problem. In practice, dispatching rules are considered to be a more practical method of scheduling. However, the combination of mathematical programming and fuzzy dispatching rule has rarely been discussed in the literature. In this study, a fuzzy nonlinear programming (FNLP) approach is proposed for optimizing the scheduling performance of a four-factor fluctuation smoothing rule in a wafer fabrication factory. The proposed methodology considers the uncertainty in the remaining cycle time of a job and optimizes a fuzzy four-factor fluctuation-smoothing rule to sequence the jobs in front of each machine. The fuzzy four-factor fluctuation-smoothing rule has five adjustable parameters, the optimization of which results in an FNLP problem. The FNLP problem can be converted into an equivalent nonlinear programming (NLP) problem to be solved. The performance of the proposed methodology has been evaluated with a series of production simulation experiments; these experiments provide sufficient evidence to support the advantages of the proposed method over some existing scheduling methods.

Abstract Demand response programs are useful options in reducing electricity price, congestion relief, load shifting, peak clipping, valley filling and resource adequacy from the system operator’s viewpoint. For this purpose, many models of these programs have been developed. However, the availability of these resources has not been properly modeled in demand response models making them not practical for long-term studies such as in the resource adequacy problem where considering the providers’ responding uncertainties is necessary for long-term studies. In this paper, a model considering providers’ unavailability for unforced demand response programs has been developed. Temperature changes, equipment failures, simultaneous implementation of demand side management resources, popular TV programs and family visits are the main reasons that may affect the availability of the demand response providers to fulfill their commitments. The effectiveness of the proposed model has been demonstrated by numerical simulation.

Fuzzy Correlation

Pythagorean fuzzy set is a reliable technique for soft computing because of its ability to curb indeterminate data when compare to intuitionistic fuzzy set. Among the several measuring tools in Pythagorean fuzzy environment, correlation coefficient is very vital since it has the capacity to measure interdependency and interrelationship between any two arbitrary Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). In Pythagorean fuzzy correlation coefficient, some techniques of calculating correlation coefficient of PFSs (CCPFSs) via statistical perspective have been proposed, however, with some limitations namely; (i) failure to incorporate all parameters of PFSs which lead to information loss, (ii) imprecise results, and (iii) less performance indexes. Sequel, this paper introduces some new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs by using Pythagorean fuzzy variance and covariance which resolve the limitations with better performance indexes. The new techniques incorporate the three parameters of PFSs and defined within the range [-1, 1] to show the power of correlation between the PFSs and to indicate whether the PFSs under consideration are negatively or positively related. The validity of the new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs is tested by considering some numerical examples, wherein the new techniques show superior performance indexes in contrast to the similar existing ones. To demonstrate the applicability of the new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs, some multi-criteria decision-making problems (MCDM) involving medical diagnosis and pattern recognition problems are determined via the new techniques.
