Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy logic is a form of mathematical logic in which truth
can assume a continum of values between 0 and 1. This allows
a given proposition to be partially true and partially false at
the same time.
Real situations are not crisp and deterministic and cannot
be described precisely.
The development of fuzzy logic was motivated in large
measure by the need for a conceptual framework which can
address the issue of uncertainty and lexical imprecision.

Fuzzy Set Theory
Fuzzy set theory is an efficient tool for modelling the
kind of uncertainty associated with vagueness, with
imprecision and with a lack of information regarding a
particular element of the problem at hand.

Fuzzy Queueing Models
Fuzzy queueing models are more practical and realistic
than deterministic queueing models.
In many practical situations, the arrival pattern and service
pattern are described by linguistic quantifiers such as fast,
slow or moderate, rather than by probability distributions.

Defuzzification
It is the conversion of a fuzzy quantity to a precise
quantity, just as fuzzification is the conversion of a precise
quantity to a fuzzy quantity.
There is no unique way to perform the operation
defuzzification.

Yager index methods
Yager (1981) proposed a procedure for ordering fuzzy sets
based on the concept of area compensation.
