Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Industrial engineering (IE) involves the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, equipment, and energy. Industrial engineers are engaged in reducing production costs, increasing efficiency, and improving the quality of products and services. Fuzzy set approaches are usually the most appropriate when human evaluations and the modeling of human knowledge are needed. IE uses a significant number of applications of the fuzzy set theory.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather a collection of articles reflecting the latest developments in the different fields of industrial engineering that apply the fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic for control and reliability, manufacturing systems and technology management, optimization techniques, quality management, process capability analysis, statistical decision-making, and others.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Some studies have shown that any part machined by an outsourcer usually has several basic quality characteristics. When the outsourcer’s process capabilities are insufficient, the defective rate of various quality characteristics of the product will increase, thereby raising the rework rate and scrap rate. As a result, maintenance costs will go up, economic value will decrease, and even carbon emissions can increase during the production process. In addition, the process capability index and the radar chart are widely used in engineering management and other fields. Since process indicators often contain unknown parameters, sample data are needed for evaluation. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things and big data analysis, many companies regard rapid response as a basic requirement for timeliness and cost consideration. Therefore, companies often have to evaluate the process quality of ten small samples and decide whether to make some improvements. In order to solve the above problems, this study proposed a fuzzy radar chart evaluation model for the process quality of multi-quality characteristic parts based on the process capability index. Using this model can help all parts manufacturers continue to improve the quality of their machined parts as well as reduce their rework and scrap rates. Meanwhile, carbon emissions can be lessened during the production process, and companies can fulfill their social responsibilities. This fuzzy radar chart evaluation model is based on confidence intervals. As the company’s past experience is incorporated, the evaluation accuracy can be maintained even with a smaller sample size. Furthermore, the fuzzy radar evaluation chart can simultaneously evaluate the process capabilities of all quality characteristics of the part. In addition to making it easier for manufacturers to master all quality characteristics, quality process capability can also help them seize improvement opportunities. Full article
