Assessing cloud manufacturing applications using an optimally rectified FAHP approach

Abstract Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) is a new manufacturing paradigm that promises to reduce costs, improve data analysis, increase efficiency and flexibility, provide manufacturers with closer partnerships. However, most past CMfg research has focused on either the information technology infrastructure or planning scheduling of hypothetical system. In addition, cost effectiveness application rarely been assessed. As result, manufacturer not sure whether adopt not. To address this issue, an optimally rectified fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (OR-FAHP) approach proposed in study assess application. The OR-FAHP solves inconsistency problem conventional FAHP method, well-known assessment technique, make analysis results more trustable. applied compare 10 applications.
