The Solution of Maintenance Strategy Selection Problem by using modified Fuzzy TOPSIS for Material Handling Equipment

Abstract

In today's competitive production environment, maintenance is one of the most important is sues. Today in manufacturing plants productive methods are used to improve operating capacities that change environmental factors that lead to a competitive market. There is thus an important role to play in achieving those goals in selecting and explainin g a optimal maintenance plan. Furthermore, there is a lack of an integrated model consisting of available requirements and choices, a systematic approach to maintenance instructions and strong maintenance decisions. In this paper modified Fuzzy TOPSIS met hod has been used for the solution of maintenance strategy selection problem. Linguistic variable and triangular fuzzy number have been used for modification in multi -criteria decision-making to solve maintenance strategy selection problem. Five experts ha ve been considered for six types of maintenance strategy and ten decision criteria have been used in this problem. In this paper breakdown maintenance strategy best one out of all maintenance strategy for material handling equipment.
