Abstract

A quantitative environmental analysis methodology for the modular design was proposed. In order to get a comprehensive effect of all environmental criteria, fuzzy numbers were used to combine some uncertain judgements of decision makers with crisp numbers. This paper presents the modularity analysis which was done under the restriction of the function-structure mapping, and it includes the similarity and independence analysis.
