Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

One of the issues that emerges from this review is that regardless of the relation of design stages and process selection with material selection, screening and ranking are two vital steps in the material selection. This paper seeks to address the following questions: ( 1 ) what is the contribution of the literature in the field of screening and choosing the materials ? This research not only provides evidence that the multi-criteria decision making approaches has the potential to greatly improve the material selection methodology, but also aids the researchers and decision makers in applying the approaches effectively.
