To minimize the problem, the order relations that represent the decision maker's (DM) performance between interval costs, supply, demand and conveyances are defined by the right limit, and the left limit. Through the deterministic problem is obtained, a fuzzy programming approach is applied by defining membership functions. A linear membership function is being used for obtaining optimal compromise solution. Finally, a numerical example is given to the utility of the approach. Manuscript profile -

In this work, we applied boosted decision tree ( DT_boost) and Monte Carlo simulation to propose an efficient method for detecting in-control and out-of-control states in multivariate control processes.In this work, four classifiers (methods) - χ_¯X^2, χ_(X_new)^2, DT_(χ^2 ), T_c– are used for detecting the process control states. Then, with converting detection results these four classifiers, the boosted decision tree is made and provides the ultimate result as the in-control or the out-of-control states. To show how the proposed model works and the superiority of this method over χ_¯X^2, χ_(X_new)^2, DT_(χ^2 ), andT_cmethods, we run it on a standardized trivariate normal process. To compare and evaluate the performance of classifiers, we used ARL functions and the evaluation measures including Accuracy (ACC), Sensitivity (TPR), Specificity (SPC), and Precision (PPV).The findings not only showed the superiority of the proposed method over the tradition Chi-square but also confirmed former results on the efficiency of decision tree for rapid detecting of mean shifts in multivariate processes in which data are gathered automatically.
