supplier evaluation and selection is important in supply chain management. this is a typical multiple criteria decision making that consists of both quantitative and qualitative factors. ahp is a proper approach to aid this decision making problem, because of its inherent capacity to handle qualitative and quantitative criteria, but when criteria are dependent this method is not so good. also t...

This research addresses a general class of infrastructure asset management problems. Infrastructure agencies usually face budget uncertainties that will eventually lead to suboptimal planning if maintenance decisions are made without taking the uncertainty into consideration. It is important for decision makers to adopt maintenance scheduling policies that take future budget uncertainty into co...

Clinical engineering departments in hospitals are responsible for establishing and regulating a Medical Equipment Management Program to ensure that medical devices are safe and reliable. In order to mitigate functional failures, significant and critical devices should be identified and prioritized. In this paper, we present a multi-criteria decision-making model to prioritize medical devices ac...

Nowadays, according to the liberalization and development of Romanian energy market, asset management in energy industry require a new approach, because the assets of electrical companies need a specific maintenance strategy for all electrical equipment and also involve the decision-making process about the company assets. This paper present the time evolution of the maintenance strategies, the...

This paper presents a systematic decision-making approach for roofing maintenance management that combines a stochastic Markovian performance prediction model with a multi-objective optimization method to determine the optimal allocation of funds and prioritization of roofs for maintenance, repair and replacement. A product model of the roof system is used to provide the data framework for coll...

Making decisions on building maintenance policies is an important topic in facility management. To evaluate different maintenance policies and make rational selection, both performance and maintenance cost of building components need to be of concern. For roofing sytem Markov Chain model has been developed to simulate the stochastic degrading process to evaluate the life cycle perfornance and c...
