Selection of Production Mix in the Agricultural Machinery Industry Considering Sustainability in Decision Making

Competition among companies is growing globally, with the need to increase productivity and efficiency in product sector. However, there also a concern about global warming depletion of natural resources, as well their effects on human health. In this context, all activities that involve intense usage resources must take into account sustainability one decision criteria. This work presents application decision-making methods define best mix agricultural machinery industry. With objective, current schedule production line was identified, along flow, by performing an inventory analysis environmental impact study (endpoint). A total seven alternatives for grain trailers were defined, considering different materials processes. The selection according criteria performed through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) data envelopment (DEA) evaluate managerial implications making. results obtained AHP identified single alternative being best, which facilitates DEA method two most efficient, case manager can choose between generates lesser or greater profitability. Although applied industry, presented methodology be easily adapted other related built environment, such construction
