Fuzzy Multicriteria Model for Selection of Vibration Technology

الملخص EN

The benefits of applying the vibration analysis program are well known and have been so for decades.

A large number of contributions have been produced discussing new diagnostic, signal treatment, technical parameter analysis, and prognosis techniques.

However, to obtain the expected benefits from a vibration analysis program, it is necessary to choose the instrumentation which guarantees the best results.

Despite its importance, in the literature, there are no models to assist in taking this decision.

This research describes an objective model using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to make a choice of the most suitable technology among portable vibration analysers.

The aim is to create an easy-to-use model for processing, manufacturing, services, and research organizations, to guarantee adequate decision-making in the choice of vibration analysis technology.

The model described recognises that judgements are often based on ambiguous, imprecise, or inadequate information that cannot provide precise values.

The model incorporates judgements from several decision-makers who are experts in the field of vibration analysis, maintenance, and electronic devices.

The model has been applied to a Health Care Organization.
