Supporting Make or Buy Decision for Reconfigurable Manufacturing System, in Multi-site Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
The make or buy decision is a strategic issue. When looking for finding out which components or products should be manufactured in house or externalized, questions about the required human and technical resources as well as costs of the externalization are to be answered. In the case of mobile manufacturing systems that are movable between various locations, long term strategic considerations must be considered when addressing the make or buy decision problem. This paper aims to provide a structured make or buy decision model, adapted for reconfigurable manufacturing systems with strong mobility constraints. Industrial application case is provided to illustrate the presented method.

This paper is concerned with the make-or-buy decision model for manufacturing and procurement problems. We develop a web-based two-step approach such as: 1) the first step, we used the multi-attribute analysis method using AHP(analytic hierarchy process) and 2) second step we used fuzzy set ranking methodologies to integrate the special decision problems that are the problems of multiobjective,...

متن کاملMake vs. buy decisions: A process incorporating multi-attribute decision-making
The need for companies to develop consistent and competitive manufacturing strategies is now well established. A fundamental question in the development of a manufacturing strategy is the determination of what the company will make and what it will buy, i.e. the make vs. buy (MvB) decision. Historically, such decisions were often made primarily on grounds of cost, however, in recent years there...
