Measuring the performance of operations of Hong Kong's manufacturing industries

Article Abstract:

The operational performance of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has been measured from 1987 to 1993 using an operational competitiveness rating procedure. Nine manufacturing groups were studied. These were the sectors of food, beverages and tobacco, textiles, apparel, leather, wood and cork products, paper products, printing and publishing, chemical, rubber and non-metallic mineral products, plastic products, basic metal, fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, and electrical and electronic products. Results indicate that the operational performance of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has fairly and steadily improved from 1987 to 1993.

Decision making under partial probability information using pair-wise comparisons

Article Abstract:

A technique to the problem of decision making under partial state probability information has been developed the technique enables users to identify the efficient strategies in a decision making scenario where the decision makers involved declare their perceived relative likelihood of the occurrence of the stated by pair-wise comparisons. The pair-wise comparisons of all the states are used to construct a judgement matrix akin to that used in the analytic hierarchy process. An efficient linear program is subsequently formulated for each available strategy.

Development of a neuro-fuzzy approach for treating multimodal distributions and spurious clusters

Article Abstract:

A new approach to treating spurious clusters in decision problems has been developed it is a combination of the F-wing fuzzy system which provides more efficient and faster estimator interface than Bart Kosko's FAM system and the straitjacket neural system where the provision of better convergency and termination conditions compared to those furnished by Kohonen's algorithm is attempted. An estimation test on an artificial test database is also performed to test the robustness of the new technique.
