A Comprehensive Evaluation Approach for Machining Operation Based on Fuzzy AHP

Abstract:

This paper provides an evaluating approach for machining operations from the view point of the energy, resources consumption and ecological impact simultaneously. The carbon footprint (CFP) is selected as a unified indicator for the quantitative attributes for the system with consideration of various machining situations. Due to the machining operation alternatives are multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in the presence of quantitative and qualitative attributes, the fuzzy AHP is chosen for the machining operation evaluation. In particular, as a method for evaluating machining operation, the carbon footprint per kilogram (CFK) is introduced and analyzed in terms of the feasibility to determine minimum energy, resources requirements and ecological impact.
