Efficiency Assessment of Resilience Engineering in Process Industries Using Data Envelopment Analysis Based on Type-2 Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

Process industries have the talent of emerging high levels of turbulent behaviors and uncertainties, such as the leakage of toxic substances and explosive materials. Resilience engineering, as a novel approach, can run the effects of such actions. Resilience engineering factors involve culture, change management, knowledge acquisition, risk assessment, readiness, plasticity, reportage, the obligation of a top manager, consciousness, safety procedures, incident survey, employee participation, and competence. The present study aims to investigate resilience engineering in process industries and analyze its efficiency using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique. Since there are high levels of uncertainty in the factors, Type-2 fuzzy sets that have a high capability of considering uncertainty is used to analyze the efficiency. The results of this work, which is the first case in evaluating the efficiency of resilience engineering in process industries by DEA and Type-2 fuzzy sets, indicate a robust approach for analyzing the efficiency and identifying the opportunities in process industries.INDEX TERMS Process industries, resilience engineering, data envelopment analysis, Type-2 fuzzy sets.

Data Envelopment Analysis Algorithm of Enterprise Economic Benefits Based on Leapfrog Algorithm

“…Although the performance of the algorithm proposed in this paper is superior, the algorithm still has the problems of high computational complexity and high overhead in the actual system. erefore, the above problems need to be solved in the future [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Comprehensive intuitionistic fuzzy network data envelopment analysis incorporating undesirable outputs and shared resources

“…The two-stage network DEA is used in various real-life applications, such as banks, insurance companies, educational institutes, water and land, and many others studied by researchers in the literature [35] , [47] , [48] . Therefore, our proposed methodology applies to several real-life problems, considering shared inputs and intermediate measures, undesirable outputs produced by each stage, accessible inputs consumed by the second stage, and free outputs produced by the first stage.…”

A novel coexistent resilience index to evaluate the supply chain resilience of industries using fuzzy logic

“…It is essential to uplift the SCR of these industries to stabilize the economy during uncertainties (Manna, 2010). The weaker links of a network and root causes of the repetitive and critical problems resulting in performance decline or bottlenecks need to be identified to minimize or eliminate the recurrence of a problem (Crichton et al, 2009;Namvar and Bamdad, 2021). Identifying and working on the critical parameters to achieving resilience is necessary.…”
