Research Note an Integrated Ahp-vikor Methodology for Plant Location Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
Plant location selection has invariably a significant impact on the performance of many companies or manufacturing systems. In this paper, a new integrated methodology is structured to solve this selection problem. Two well-known decision making methods, namely analytic hierarchical process (AHP) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR), are combined in order to make the best use of information available, either implicitly or explicitly. In addition, the Delphi method is utilized to select the most influential criteria by a few experts. The aim of using the AHP is to give the weights of the selected criteria. Finally, the VIKOR method is taken into account to rank potential alternatives. Finally, an application example demonstrates the suitability of the proposed methodology.
