In parallel to computer technology drastically developing, various simulation software packages focusing on solving different kinds of engineering problems have been introduced to the world market. As the result of this, the selection of proper simulation software has been of considerable importance to any simulation analyst in a simulation project. On the other hand, the best satisfying simula...

In this paper the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is applied to the selection of photovoltaic (PV) solar power projects. These projects follow a long management and execution process from plant site selection to plant start-up. As a consequence, there are many risks of time delays and even of project stoppage. In the case study presented in this paper a top manager of an important Spanish compan...

Governments face numerous challenges in sustaining road network conditions. This is attributed to authorities’ shortages of financial and physical infrastructure. As a result, low-cost automated solutions are being pursued solve these problems provide people with appropriate Several attempts have been made improve technologies incorporate them into Pavement Management System (PMS) but limited f...

Proper management of residues originated from industrial activities is considered as one of the serious challenges faced by industrial societies due to their potential hazards to the environment. Common disposal methods for industrial solid wastes (ISWs) encompass various combinations of solely management options, i.e. recycling, incineration, composting, and sanitary landfilling. Indeed, the p...

A case study on the suitability of an existing system configuration and control policy to the manufacturing strategic objectives has been conducted in a discrete part factory that belongs to a large Swedish manufacturing company. There are two market segments for the products identified as Segment A and Segment B with different priority of competitive factors. A newly formulated manufacturing s...

This study proposes a new approach to prioritize the key company’s indicators and relative elements following process model of intellectual capital (IC). The IC is improved by the application of analytic network process (ANP). The ANP provides the weights and priorities to all focused key performance indicators (KPIs) serving to the business concept. These obtained weights can also be passed to...
