Fuzzy Group Multi-Criteria Decision-Making on Selecting & Evaluating of AMT

Abstract:

The advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) is the important symbol of the national industrial modernization level. Because of fuzzy and uncertainty of reference information for decision,traditional evaluation methods often determined not accurately and efficiently. According to the evaluation of problem, based on the Fuzzy control technology, this paper firstly put forward a method of fuzzy group multi-criteria decision-making, which applies with the information of either weight coefficient or policymakers weight coefficient incompletely and decision makers having risk attitudes. Then on the basis of constructing the evaluation criterion system of advanced manufacturing technology, an example of some enterprise with AMT selecting project evaluation is given to explain the feasibility and availability of this method for helping decision-makers in determining the optimal conditions of AMT in uncertain environment.
