Concurrent Decisions on Design Concept and Material Using Analytical Hierarchy Process at the Conceptual Design Stage

Composite Manufacturing Process Selection Using Analytical Hierarchy Process

This paper describes an approach, based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) that assists decision makers or manufacturing engineers determining the most appropriate manufacturing process to be employd in manufacturing of composite automotive bumper beam at the early stage of product development process. There are 5 types of processes under consideration namely injection moulding (IM), res...

Contribution of the Author to the Publications

Structural and societal changes in process industry have lead to new requirements in process development, design and project management. The growing importance of health, safety and environmental aspects has increased the number of criteria considered in design. The decisions have to be made in a multicriteria environment considering uncertainty and the life-cycle point of view. Process industr...

Conceptual Design of Sustainable Outsourcing with Balanced Scorecard Using Analytic Hierarchy Process: A Case Study for Fajr Jam Gas Refining Company

The purpose of this paper was to design a conceptual model of sustainable outsourcingwith a balanced scorecard using the hierarchical analysis process. In this research, success factors of outsourcing were identified based on previous studies conducted inside and outside of the country. To ensure the validity of the factors, in addition to the content validity and the validity index, the reliab...

Application of House of Quality, Fuzzy-analytical Hierarchy Process and Rough-grey Analysis in Design Concept Evaluation – a Case Study

Design concept evaluation plays a critical role in the early phases of product development as it has a significant impact on the downstream development processes, as well as on the success of the product developed. In this work, a novel three-stage methodology has been developed. The preliminary stage screens all the criteria from different viewpoints using House of Quality (HoQ). The second st...
