A Generic Fuzzy Decision Support Model based on Plant Computational Model for Agriculture Investment Decision
Journal of System and Management Sciences · 2023
Farming investment decision is risky.Numerous constraints should be deliberated in such a purpose.One of considerations to invest is an economic opportunity of plant type.Thus, the model that can predict the investment opportunity based on one plant is required.Here, the study conducted aims to construct a virtual plant model operated to support making a decision of agricultural investment in the succeeding constructed model (decision support model, DSM).Virtual plant model itself is a plant computational model (PCM) can produces three functional, morphological, and statistical facets of plant.PCM is a computer based model illustrating the plant in such three features.The functional aspect talks about the biological process in the plant, the morphological aspect speaks regarding the plant physically in three dimensions (3D), and all data and information finally are released and provided statistically.Finally, a DSM based on PCM is final destination of the study.The constructed DSM is operated to suggest the investment decision ultimately, specifically in the hydroponic vegetable plant Bok Choy (Brassica Chinensis L.).The main methods operated are fuzzy logic (FL) and structural-functional plant modeling (FSPM) for developing DSM and PCM respectively.The best investing value that gives the best breakeven point (BEP) is suggested thru model simulation; where investor should plant 16,198 plants of hydroponic Bok Choy with total investing cost approximately IDR 17,790,285 (or US$ 1,148).The BEP calculated itself has accuracy value of 94.33%.
