... to prevent safety incidents, minimize downtime and reduce costs. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a methodology to calculate an asset's probability of failure (PoF) effectively. The methodology identifies factors influencing equipment failure and uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP...

... based multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches, specifically IF-analytic hierarchy process (IF-AHP) and IF-Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (IF-TOPSIS). IF theory based MCDM approaches utilises the hesitation present in the maintenance experts to encounter...

... importance of each were identified through an expert survey. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to scientifically establish weight (importance) of each factor based on its relative importance over other factors. The proposed methodology was validated through a case study of 203 low volume rural roads...

.../approach The proposed model is based on the analytic hierarchy process. The assessment was performed by pairwise comparisons, and a sensitivity analysis (what-if analysis) was used to identify the implications of changing the criteria weights. In order to select the criteria and alternatives, a search...

...V. González Díaz; J. Gómez Fernández; A. Crespo Márquez Purpose This paper will be focused in one of the stages included in a reference framework proposed for the improvement of the warranty management. Particularly, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi‐criteria decision‐making method...
