Abstract

Choosing the proper and best crawler crane is a complicated decision-making issue due to several conflicting criteria and vagueness in the construction and project logistics industries. This decision-making problem has become compounded due to insufficient studies on crawler crane selection in the relevant literature. The current study introduces an intuitionistic fuzzy consensus-based complex proportional assessment model (IF-c-COPRAS) developed to address the existing research gaps and identify the best and most suitable crawler crane. The acquired conclusions revealed that the most potent criterion influencing the crawler crane selection is "job potential," with a weighted score of 0.7665, followed by "periodic control and inspection" and "crane model year." Once the following findings of the paper regarding crawler crane variants are evaluated, the crawler crane manufactured by Liebherr Co. is the most feasible alternative, with a relative significance score of 0.8324. These outcomes provide sensible implications and insights for practitioners and decision-makers in the construction and project logistics (overweight/oversized cargo lifting and transport firms) industries, providing an applicable guideline for improving the quality of construction operations. Additionally, crane manufacturers can consider these managerial and policy implications and insights to improve the abilities and quality of the crawler cranes they produce.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Industrial Information Integration focuses on the industry's transition towards industrial integration and informatization, covering not only hardware and software but also information integration. It serves as a platform for promoting advances in industrial information integration, addressing challenges, issues, and solutions in an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. The Journal of Industrial Information Integration welcomes papers on foundational, technical, and practical aspects of industrial information integration, emphasizing the complex and cross-disciplinary topics that arise in industrial integration. Techniques from mathematical science, computer science, computer engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, manufacturing engineering, and engineering management are crucial in this context.
