The problemof selection and the best option are themain subject of operation research science in decision-making theory. Selection is a process that scrutinizes and investigates several quantitative and qualitative, and most often incompatible, factors. One of the most fundamental management issues in multicriteria selection literature is the multicriteria adoption of the projects portfolio. In...

Based on detailed analysis of computational principles of the grey relational analysis method and a series of the relevant researches, this paper proposes a web service selection method based on Grey Relational Analysis to improve the shortcomings caused by personal assignment, so as to improve the usability of the algorithm and reduce the limitation of service selection. At the same time, this...

Abstract Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach for identifying potential failures before they occur, with the intent to minimize the risk associated with them. It has been widely used in the various manufacturing industries as a solution to reliability problems. As the importance of the service sector is increasing, however, it has been recently extended to some appli...

Grey relational analysis is useful for the multi-input, discrete data and uncertain experimental study. Developed in this paper is the application of the grey relational analysis for optimizing the electropolishing of 316L stainless steel with multiple performance characteristics. The processing parameters (temperature, current density, and electrolyte composition) are optimized with considerat...

In this paper, wire electrical discharge machining of D3 tool steel is studied. Influence of pulse-on time, pulse-off time, peak current and wire speed are investigated for MRR, dimensional deviation, gap current and machining time, during intricate machining of D3 tool steel. Taguchi method is used for single characteristics optimization and to optimize all four process parameters simultaneous...
