Abstract

The main aim of this study is to develop a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) model to prioritise the faults of the sugar industry. Although the concept of fault diagnosis has been discussed in previous studies, fault diagnosis of sugar industry is not investigated yet. To fill this gap, this study is carried out in three main phases as follows. Firstly, the general faults of industries are developed from the previous literature. Secondly, the developed faults are investigated with regard to their availability in sugar industry. Finally, a FAHP model is applied to prioritise the faults of sugar industry. According to the results, old technology, improper financing, poor research and development and lack of creativity and innovation are four main faults of sugar industry, respectively. Some managerial implications are suggested to deal with these faults and improve the performance of this industry.

糖业故障诊断与排序:一种模糊层次分析法

本研究的主要目的是开发一个模糊层次分析法（FAHP）模型，以优先考虑糖业的故障。虽然在以前的研究中已经讨论了故障诊断的概念，但对糖业的故障诊断还没有进行研究。为了填补这一空白，本研究分以下三个主要阶段进行。首先，工业的一般缺陷是在以往文献的基础上发展起来的。其次，就其在制糖工业中的可用性对已开发的断层进行了调查。最后，应用FAHP模型对糖业的故障进行了排序。研究结果表明，技术陈旧、资金筹措不当、研发不力、缺乏创造力和创新能力分别是糖业发展的四大主要缺陷。提出了一些管理启示，以解决这些缺陷，提高该行业的绩效。

期刊介绍： Today"s businesses have become extremely complex. The interplay of the three Cs, viz. consumers, competition and convergence, has thrown up new challenges for organisations all over the world. Sensitivity of economies to the external environment coupled with the turbulent process of globalisation has added the highest degree of uncertainty and unpredictability to business processes. To top it all, the effect of globalisation has shifted the balance of power in favour of the customer, though it may have opened a plethora of opportunities for all, in the form of variety and choice. For a variety of reasons, the pressures of competitive forces have enhanced product changes, supercharged by shortening product and technology development lifecycles.
