The development of a reviewer selection method: a multi-level hesitant fuzzy VIKOR and TOPSIS approaches
(2021)
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 ...
Determination of periodic inspection time in pressurized equipment exposed to fatigue by estimating the probability of fracture
(2021)
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 ...
Fuzzy failure mode and effect analysis application to reduce risk level in a ready-mixed concrete plant: A fuzzy rule based system modelling approach
(2020)
In this study, failure mode and effect analysis were applied to evaluate and eliminate potential failure modes in a Ready-Mixed Concrete Plant using a fuzzy-rule-base system. The questionnaires were specially prepared for ...
Analysis of the manufacturing flexibility parameters with effective performance metrics: a new interactive approach based on modified TOPSIS-Taguchi method
(2022)
Flexibility is one of the most important strategy parameters to achieve a long-term successful performance for a manufacturing company. Studies in the literature aim to operate a manufacturing system at optimum levels of ...
Risk-based inspection planning for internal surface defected oil pipelines exposed to fatigue
(2022)
The pipelines should be inspected periodically to minimize the probability of failure. The timing of these periodic inspections can be determined by a risk assessment that considers the probability of failure of the pipeline ...
Development of a Goal Programming Model Based on Response Surface and Analytic Hierarchy Process Approaches for Laser Cutting Process Optimization of St-52 Steel Plates
(2022)
This paper presents an integrated model for optimization of laser cutting process of St-52 steel plates with multiple performance characteristics using Goal Programming (GP), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Response ...
The Use of Petri Nets in Performance Analysis of Flexible Manufacturing Cell
(2022)
A Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) is a system that consists of computer-integrated machines, automatic material handling systems, and robots. It produces different part types with minimal worker involvement. Many different ...
Analysis of the Robustness of the Operational Performance Using a Combined Model of the Design of Experiment and Goal Programming Approaches for a Flexible Manufacturing Cell
(2022)
A combined model of a 2(k) design of experiment (DOE) and goal programming (GP) approaches is presented to determine optimum levels of input variables and analyze their robustness for a multiobjective performance of a ...
A Forecasting Study for Renewable Energy Resources Investments in Turkey: TOPSIS-Based Linear Programming Model
(2022)
In this paper, a Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)-based linear programming (LP) approach is developed for determining optimal quantities of renewable energy sources according to the ...
Partitioning of A Manufacturing System into Machine Cells-A Practical Application
(2021)
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 ...
