Relative Ratio Method for Material Selection Problem with Interval Numbers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Material selection is an important research aspect for manufacturing companies. To select a best material, many different tools are used to measure the candidate materials for many influence factors and in different situations, which will give a range of values. These measure values can be depicted with interval numbers. Then the material selection problem is actually a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. Then this paper we will propose a MADM method based on the relative ratio method for the material selection problem. Coefficient of variation method will be used to determine the evaluation indexes’ weight. Finally, a practical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
