Abstract

Real world applications of a decision model of relationships between goals based on fuzzy relations (DMRG) are presented. In contrast to other approaches the relationships between decision goals or criteria for each decision situation are represented and calculated explicitly. The application fields are decision making for financial services, optimization of production sequences in car manufacturing and vision systems for quality inspection and object recognition.
