Fuzzy Method to Improve Products and Processes Considering the Approach of Sustainable Development (FQE-SD Method)

Assumptions of the concept sustainable development should include actions towards modern, well-managed enterprises. However, making decisions in this area is difficult as it often results from subjective assessments environmental problems. Hence, there a motivation to develop method analysing search for solutions problems that supports improving quality products or processes while considering their impacts on natural environment. In view specification problem, was considered be conducted fuzzy decision This called FQE-SD (fuzzy qualitatively environmentally development). integrated, hybrid way, selected tools elements qualitative and multi-criteria methods, i.e., using SMARTER method, brainstorming (BM), select team experts, Pareto-Lorenz analysis, QE-FMEA AHP method. The main contribution its methodology, which supports: (i) coherent objective approach during identification, analyses, ranking causes incompatibility (ii) realization processes. tested magnetic-powder test (MT). control carried out producers an outer bearing made fromAMS6470 steel. work confirmed practical possibilities applying can also applied other production situations, if appropriate assumptions are made.
