Maintenance Strategy and Decision Making – Ahp Method

Maintenance strategy plays a very important role in all kind of manufacturing industries. Each maintenance strategy has their characteristics, importance and drawbacks. Performance of a machine depends on the type of maintenance strategies employed on it. Machines used in industries need proper maintenance because failure of machine may cause the production loss. Maintenance strategy may vary f...

Making Decision Support System for Utilization of Biogas in Iran

The use of renewable energy sources is often suggested to be a good solution for climate change and the dependency to fossil fuel. Biogas utilization is a one of these promising options that can mitigate these problems since biogas is produced by the fermentation of waste, so is rich in methane and has the same characteristics as natural gas. Biogas has increasingly been noticed in different co...

Improving consistency in AHP decision-making processes

Decision making in engineering is becoming increasingly complex due to the large number of alternatives and multiple conflicting goals. Powerful decisionsupport expert systems powered by suitable software are increasingly necessary. In this paper, the multiple attribute decision method known as analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which uses pairwise comparisons with numerical judgments, is cons...

Sustainability Indicators for Energy Systems to Enhance Decision Making Processes

1. Abstract The energy sector plays a key role within the concept of Sustainable Development. However, there is consensus that today’s energy system is not sustainable. A transformation towards more efficient structures as well as a shift to renewable sources is needed. To get on the right track, sustainability aspects should be addressed within the scope of technology assessments. This applies...
