PC-TOPSIS method for the selection of a cleaning system for engine maintenance

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an effective framework PC-TOPSIS when using both Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to address the weights of the criteria, and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) extended to a fuzzy environmental for performing alternatives evaluation. Thus we could handle the decision problems in a more realist way. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed PC-TOPSIS in a decision-making (DM) of selection of a cleaning system in a maintenance problem. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
