Abstract

Modern world is a competitive world. To survive in this world, every industry must achieve competitiveness. So, it has become the most important task for them to select the best Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT). The process involves both quantitative and qualitative factors. The aim of this paper is to solve the problem by Fuzzy TOPSIS method. According to the method of TOPSIS, a closeness co-efficient is determined by calculating the distances to both the Fuzzy positive ideal solution (FPIS) and Fuzzy negative ideal solution (FNIS). Then, a Suitability Index (SI) is calculated by taking into account the Objective Factor Measurement (OFM) to rank the alternatives. Finally, a numerical example using triangular fuzzy numbers is shown to highlight the proposed method.
