%X Generally
fuzzy control system (FCS) is worked in washing machine. For the fuzzy set
theory<span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> membership functions are the building blocks. In a fuzzy set</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> fuzziness is determined
by its membership functions. The shapes of membership functions are important</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> because it has an effect
on fuzzy inference system. The shapes of membership functions can be
triangular, trapezoidal and gaussian. The most widely used triangular membership
function is used in this paper</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> because
it can capture the short time period. In washing machine</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">, </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">open loop control system
is found. This paper applies a fuzzy synthetic evaluation method (FSEM) for
washing cloth in washing machine as FSEM can handle the multiple criteria with
the help of evaluation matrix generated from membership function and weight
matrix generated by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">. </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">The purpose of this research is to minimize the wash
time. By applying FSEM</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> we get
a wash time which is less than that wash time g</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">ot</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> from applying the Mamdani approach in FCS. An
example is given for illustration. For more reduction of wash time</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> statistical averaging
method is also used. To reduce the wash time</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">, </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">statistical averaging method can be used in Mamdani
approach also.</span>
