Development of a Machine Tool Selection System Using Analytic Hierarchy Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The selection of appropriate machines is one of the most critical decisions in the design and development of a successful production environment. In this study, a user-friendly decision support system is proposed for machine tool selection. This system guides the decision-maker in selecting available machines via effective algorithms, such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Cost analysis helps the user evaluate the results based on economical considerations. Furthermore, reliability and precision analyses are included in the evaluation procedure. The robustness of the selection procedure may be evaluated using sensitivity analysis. An illustrated example of machine tool selection using the proposed tool is also provided.
