Evaluating Investments in Advanced Manufacturing Technology: A Fuzzy Set Theory Approach
In this paper, a model for the evaluation of investments in advanced manufacturing technology is developed. Many authors have called for an integration of financial and non-financial factors in such evaluations and this paper demonstrates that it is conceptually possible to do this using the mathematics of the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy set theory.

متن کاملFuzzy multi-criteria decision-making procedure for evaluating advanced manufacturing system investments
In this paper, a fuzzy decision algorithm is proposed to select the most suitable advanced manufacturing system (AMS) alternative from a set of mutually exclusive alternatives. Both economic evaluation criterion and strategic criteria such as #exibility, quality improvement, which are not quantitative in nature, are considered for selection. The economic aspects of the AMS selection process are...
متن کاملA comparative study of advanced manufacturing technology and manufacturing infrastructure investments in Singapore and Sweden
