Abstract

Business operational sustainability must allow creating economic value, building healthy ecosystems and developing strong communities. Hence, there is a need to develop solutions which can safeguard companies' business sustainability. Various solutions could have different costs and deliver different benefits. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate these solutions before being implemented. In reality, companies require achieving certain targets according to their plans and strategies. Goal-Driven Simulation (GDS) is an approach that allows evaluating solutions before implementing them in real-life while focusing on achieving desired targets. This paper presents a GDS based on interval type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) optimized by the big bang-big crunch (BU-BC) algorithm with application to field force allocation within the telecommunications sector. The obtained results show the suitability of the proposed approach to model unexpected factors to protect the business sustainability in the telecommunications industry field force allocation domain.

实现野战部队作战可持续性:用于目标驱动仿真的大爆炸-大挤压2型模糊逻辑系统

企业运营的可持续性必须允许创造经济价值，建立健康的生态系统和发展强大的社区。因此，有必要开发能够保障公司业务可持续性的解决方案。不同的解决方案可能有不同的成本和不同的收益。因此，有必要在实现这些解决方案之前对其进行评估。在现实中，企业需要根据自己的计划和战略实现一定的目标。目标驱动模拟(GDS)是一种方法，允许在现实生活中实施解决方案之前评估解决方案，同时专注于实现预期目标。提出了一种基于大爆炸-大压缩算法优化的区间2型模糊逻辑系统(IT2FLS)的GDS，并将其应用于电信行业的野战兵力分配。研究结果表明，该方法对电信行业现场兵力分配领域的意外因素进行建模，能够有效地保护业务的可持续性。
