The Application of the EDAS Method in the Parametric Selection Scheme for Maintenance Plans in the Nigerian Food Industry

Nowadays, maintenance performance in organizations has become compelling due to competitiveness the global market and inclusion of more legislation issues (such as safety health regulations) assessments. In this article, purpose is formulate problem for a food processing unit multicriteria solve it using evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method. To attain purpose, authors defined set weighted criteria alternatives, alternative that scores best those criteria. Consequently, analysis was done EDAS method calculated results literature data. parameters considered include frequency failure, MTBF, MTTF MTTR while availability response. The used select (MTTR, 0.8802) score 0.8802 an alternative. chief novelty article unique introduction innovative method, which requires only two measures desirability (positive negative distances solution) but excluded idea nadir solutions key indicators maintenance. study initiates plan industry referring cause poor equipment Nigerian industry.
