Study of Research and Development Processes through Fuzzy Super FRM Model and Optimization Solutions by Flavius Aurelian Sârbu, Monika Moga, Gavrilă Calefariu, Mircea Boșcoianu

“…Therefore to fulfill the above mentioned aim in this application-oriented paper we decided to use a questionnaire and for the interpretation of the results the Super Fuzzy FRM model, representing the main novelty of our paper, as this theory provides a formalism based on matrix calculus, which allows processing of large volumes of information and also delivers results difficult or impossible to see, through statistical processing. Furthermore another novelty of the paper represents the optimization solutions submitted in this work, given for the situation when the sales price is variable, and the quantity sold is constant in time and for the reverse situation.…”
