Multi-Criteria Decision-Making for Machine Selection in Manufacturing and Construction: Recent Trends

As the number of alternative machines has increased and their technology been continuously developed, machine selection problem attracted many researchers. This article reviews recent developments in applying multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods for selecting manufacturing construction industries. Selected articles are classified according to application area applied MCDM method. By focusing on last five years, this paper identifies trends developing using these methods. Results suggest that there a noticeable growth utilization techniques problems both sectors. It is also noted several decision-support tools have developed successfully during period. Accordingly, needs directions future research discussed.
