Example outputs of the proposed procedure consisting of the four steps are
illustrated in the following tables. As previously described, the relationship
analysis between car parts and industrial functions was performed at first and
Table VI was obtained. This table represents a cross-relation of both factors.
Then, measurement of the industrial strength of each country and its rating
against Japan was calculated as shown in Table VII, where, for a specific
product, each country's industrial scale rate to Japan was calculated in terms of
the ratio of the n-dimensional score distance from Japan's score. For example,
engine sub-parts manufacturing activity mainly relates to three industries, i.e.
