Abstract EN
The selection of manufacturing processes for a given application is a complex problem of multicriteria decision-making although there have been several different approaches that can be utilized to select a suitable alternative.
However, identifying appropriate multicriteria decision-making approach from the list of available methods for a given application is a difficult task.
This work suggests a methodology to assess different selection approaches, which are the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and VIKOR: stepwise procedure.
This valuation was done depending on the following factors: number of alternative processes and criteria, agility through the process of decision-making, computational complexity, adequacy in supporting a group decision, and addition or removal of a criterion.
A case study in this study was presented to analyse the evaluation methodology.
The criteria used to evaluate and identify the best manufacturing process were categorized into productivity, accuracy, complexity, flexibility, material utilization, quality, and operation cost.
Five manufacturing processes were considered, including gravity die casting, investment casting, pressure die casting, sand casting, and additive manufacturing.
The results showed that each approach was suitable for the problems of manufacturing process selection, in particular toward the support of group decision-making and uncertainty modelling.
Manufacturing processes were ranked based on their respective weights for AHP, TOPSIS, and VIKOR, and sand casting is the best.
In terms of computational complexity, the VIKOR method performed better than TOPSIS and AHP.
Moreover, the VIKOR and TOPSIS methods were better convenient to the selection of manufacturing processes for agility during the process of decision-making, the number of alternative processes and criteria, adequacy in supporting a group decision, and addition or removal of a criterion.
