Selection of optimum maintenance strategies based on a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process
Ling Wang,Jian Chu,Jun Wu +2 more
TL;DR: The fuzzy AHP method proposed in this paper is a simple and effective tool for tackling the uncertainty and imprecision associated with MCDM problems, which might prove beneficial for plant maintenance managers to define the optimum maintenance strategy for each piece of equipment.

A Comparative Study on Machine Learning Algorithms for Smart Manufacturing: Tool Wear Prediction Using Random Forests
TL;DR: Experimental results have shown that RFs can generate more accurate predictions than FFBP ANNs with a single hidden layer and SVR, and experimental results have also shown thatRFs can be more accurate than support vector regression (SVR) without a hidden layer.

Fuzzy ahp approach for selecting the suitable bridge construction method
TL;DR: In this paper, a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model is proposed to deal with the uncertainty and vagueness involved in the mapping of one's preference to an exact number or ratio.

Risk-based maintenance—Techniques and applications
N.S. Arunraj,Jhareswar Maiti +1 more
TL;DR: There is no unique way to perform risk analysis and risk-based maintenance, and the use of suitable techniques and methodologies, careful investigation during the risk analysis phase, and its detailed and structured results are necessary to make proper risk- based maintenance decisions.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

How to make a decision: The analytic hierarchy process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as discussed by the authors is a multicriteria decision-making approach in which factors are arranged in a hierarchic structure, and the principles and philosophy of the theory are summarized giving general background information of the type of measurement utilized, its properties and applications.

Journal ArticleDOI
Remarks on the analytic hierarchy process
TL;DR: The analytic hierarchy process AHP is flawed as a procedure for ranking alternatives in that the rankings produced by this procedure are arbitrary as discussed by the authors, and the key to correcting this flaw is the synthesis of the AHP with the concepts of multiattribute utility theory.

Vendor Selection Using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM)
Anukul Mandal,S.G. Deshmukh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an interpretive structural model (ISM) is developed to show the inter-relationship of different criteria and their levels of importance in the vendor selection process, revealing that attitude and willingness for business and after sales service are as important factors as quality, delivery and practice.
