Intelligent Decision Making in Quality Management

This book presents recently developed intelligent techniques with applications and theory in the area of quality management. The involved applications of intelligence include techniques such as fuzzy sets, neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc. The book consists of classical quality management topics dealing with intelligent techniques for solving the complex quality management problems. The book will serve as an excellent reference for quality managers, researchers, lecturers and postgraduate students in this area. The authors of the chapters are well-known researchers in the area of quality management.

Presents the theoretical and empirical framework for the use of intelligent decision making methods in the field of quality control and management broadly Introduces new intelligent solution approaches to the traditional problems in quality management Intelligent decision making methods such as heuristics, fuzzy logic, queuing theory, artificial neural networks are investigated for the solution of quality management and control techniques
