Abstract

Changing environments are driving firms towards the development of new techniques for the decision making process in order to fit rapidly with alterations and adjustments of the market. In this context, the relationship between operations strategy and flexibility plays a fundamental role for increasing performance goals. For this reason, this paper presents a Fuzzy Probabilistic Case-based reasoning (FP-CBR) system which studies the relationship between flexibility and operations strategy in a real sample of engineering consulting firms in Spain. The objective is to develop a framework of analysis based on CBR and fuzzy logic whose accuracy is measured in order to assess scientific evidence to the conclusions. In order to help manager to make decisions about the firms.
