--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------The significance of decision making from the maintenance perspective has long been acknowledged by the manufacturing industry. Appropriate maintenance alternative decision making increases machine reliability and enhances both productivity and product quality. By contrast, p...

With regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

Dynamic rescheduling decision-making problem is an important issue in modern manufacturing system with the feature of combinational computation complexity. This paper introduces a multi-agent based approach using the detailed process, provided by Prometheus methodology, which used for the design of a simultaneous dynamic rescheduling decision making for flexible flow line manufacturing system t...

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides strong decision making in domains where selection of best alternative is highly complex. This survey paper reviews the main streams of consideration in multi criteria decision making theory and practice in detail. The main purpose is to identify various applications and the approaches, and to suggest approaches which are most robustly and effective...

in the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. the multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literature. i...

Textile manufacturing is a typical traditional industry involving high complexity in interconnected processes with limited capacity on the application of modern technologies. Decision-making this domain generally takes multiple criteria into consideration, which usually arouses more complexity. To address issue, present paper proposes decision support system that combines intelligent data-based...

Supply chain sustainability, which takes environmental, economic, and social factors into account, was recently recognized as a critical component of the supply (SC) management evaluation process known multi-criteria decision-making problem (MCDM) that is heavily influenced by decision-makers. While some criteria can be analyzed numerically, large number qualitative require expert review in lin...

The mass customisation paradigm, in combination with the volatility of globalised heterogeneous markets, directly affects industries towards realising efficient manufacturing network configurations. This research work aims to support the design and operation of manufacturing networks based on a multiobjective decision-making and simulation approach. The alternative network designs are evaluated...

abstract: although all university majors are prominent and the necessity of their presences is of no question, they might not have the same priority basis considering different resources and strategies that could be spotted for a country. this paper focuses on clustering and ranking university majors in iran. to do so, a model is presented to clarify the procedure. eight different criteria are ...
