Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) aspects in Design using MADM approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research article focuses on various life cycle engineering (LCE) aspects in the design and development of various systems. Life Cycle Engineering has become the major thrust area for product designers and manufacturers during the past few decades. A methodology (MADM) based on digraph and matrix method for the systematic evaluation of various life cycle engineering issues is presented here. These aspects have been considered as attributes. An index is used to evaluate these attributes and the ideal value of this index is also obtained, which is useful in assessing the relative index value. A step-by-step procedure for evaluation of life cycle engineering aspects is presented and illustrated with the help of an example.
