Abstract

This study reviews some of the existing work in fuzzy multi-criteria decision making. According to the literature review, there is no research found in sequence selection in a single machine shop. The aim of this study is to select the best sequence in a single machine shop by fuzzy AHP. In the present paper, after introducing the efficiency indices in operation sequencing selection and a brief description of the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method the way of using it is mentioned. The sequence calculated by the NBR algorithm is selected as the best sequence. The sequences calculated by the NBR, minimizes the launching and setup costs of the equipment.
Keywords: Decision making, maximum time completion, maximum tardiness, setup costs
