This study develops a multi-level hierarchical performance measurement model to measure a manufacturing firm's overall performance score by grading its success levels in critical operations and combining them. Linking ...

This paper proposes a new approach for the selection of reviewers to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects using a new integrated hesitant fuzzy VIKOR and TOPSIS methodology. A reviewer selection model must have ...

It is essential to inspect the pressurized equipment such as vessels, pipes, heat exchangers, boilers, etc., which are under the influence of variable load periodically to minimize the possibility of damage occurring or ...

This article focuses on partitioning a manufacturing system into machine cells. The benefit of such a conversion is improving manufacturing efficiency by eliminating waste in terms of material handling and time as well as ...

This paper investigates the turning performance of particle-reinforced composite materials in terms of energy consumption and surface quality. The proposal of an experimental design approach pertinent to the optimization ...

Financial performances of commercial banks are commonly determined with various multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models. For example, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is one of the most widely used MCDM approaches ...

Nontraditional manufacturing processes (NTMPs) bring the processing capabilities such as machining high strength and hard materials with desired accuracies and surface finish to the manufacturing companies. Therefore, there ...

Level of repair analysis (LORA) determines (1) the best decision during a malfunction of each product component; (2) the location in the repair network to perform the decision and (3) the quantity of required resources in ...

Accreditation studies and the number of programs that are accredited in engineering education are increasing day by day. In the auditing process, under the criteria of program outcomes, the level of individual students' ...
