Abstract

Complex manufacturing environments of the 21st century require a new level of analysis to be globally competitive. The large number of highly complex variables (often compounded by significant levels of uncertainty) encountered in decision making activities related to such environments, demand the advanced methodology represented by our application of fuzzy relational methods. We present a methodology that utilizes current high-level Web enabling programming languages to implement software tools in a manner that lends itself to the easy distribution and sharing of knowledge via the Internet. Extended OpenMath communication have a key role to play in the advancement of this approach
