Decision Support Techniques Applied to Production Engineering Based on Non-Classical Logic

Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Engenharia de Produção

Ementa
The subject aims to contribute to the training of students in the Production Engineering Program by providing theories and techniques to support decision-making applied to Production Engineering based on non-classical logic. Students are expected to gain an understanding of the decision-making process in various topics, such as supply chain management, logistics, expert systems, intelligent computing, automation and robotics. Group decision techniques based on fuzzy theory have been proposed in the literature to support imprecise evaluation and aggregate the opinions of different experts. Furthermore, disagreement between experts can naturally arise depending on the complexity and nature of the problem. To this end, we rely on paraconsistent logic that can mechanically handle conflicting or imprecise data. Group decision-making is more representative of the organization’s view of the problem than individual decision-making, favoring a more systemic view.
