Yz. Guo et Jy. Dong, THE APPLICATION OF FUZZY CLUSTERING ANALYSIS IN-PROCESS EQUIPMENT IMPORTANCE CLASSIFICATION, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 71(2), 1997, pp. 175-179
On the basis of the analytical hierarchy method and fuzzy sets theory,
the analytical hierarchy model of the process equipment importance is
established. The weighted values of the influence factors in subhiera
rchy and target hierarchy are obtained separately. According to the ge
neralized Haimin distance, good classification results are found by fu
zzy clustering analysis, and a fuzzy mathematical model for working ou
t the inspection and maintenance plan of process equipments is propose
