Abstract
Use of Fuzzy Relations for A ordability De- cisions in High Technology E.J. Kim, L.J. Kohout, *B. DuBrosky and W.

Application of fuzzy relational techniques will allow more e ective predictions of cost, uncertainty, inde niteness and con dence in cost solutions, and will also facilitate more realistic analysis of cost/bene ts vs. performance trade-o than probability theory when a suciently large sample of technological data characterising the manufactured artifact is not yet available. In our study, a method of repertory
