Abstract

Undoubtedly, noise has become a major hazardous issue in today’s industrial world, with a lot of people suffering from exposure to excessive noise in their work environments. This study was conducted to weigh and prioritize noise control methods in an Iranian tire manufacturing complex in Iran. The Delphi method and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity and an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were utilized for this purpose. This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the baking hall of an Iranian tire manufacturing factory in 2016. To weigh and prioritize noise control methods, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and TOPSIS were applied. In total, 4 criteria and 8 alternatives were examined. An AHP and TOPSIS questionnaire was then designed to prioritize noise control methods in the light of the objectives, criteria, and alternatives. Then, the collected data were fed into Expert Choise. V. 11 and Excel and data analysis was carried out using TOPSIS. The results of data analysis indicated that the inconsistency rate in all the cases was smaller than 10%, hence the consistency of the responses was verified. According to the TOPSIS results and experts’ opinions about the criteria, implementation and maintenance cost (with a weight of 0.481) and method effectiveness and efficiency (with a weight of 0.046) had the highest and lowest priority respectively. Based on the weights TOPSIS, the appropriate methods for controlling noise in tire manufacturing are designing and manufacturing silencer, requiring people in charge to quickly fix the leaks and change baking press washers on time.

利用德尔菲法和TOPSIS法对伊朗某轮胎制造厂噪声控制方法进行加权和优选

毫无疑问，噪音已成为当今工业世界的一个主要危险问题，许多人在工作环境中遭受过度噪音的折磨。本研究旨在衡量和优先考虑伊朗轮胎制造综合体的噪音控制方法。采用德尔菲法和TOPSIS (Order Preference by Similarity and a Ideal Solution)方法。这项横断面描述性研究于2016年在伊朗一家轮胎制造厂的烘焙车间进行。采用层次分析法(AHP)和TOPSIS法对噪声控制方法进行权衡和排序。共审查了4个标准和8个备选方案。然后设计了AHP和TOPSIS问卷，根据目标、标准和备选方案优先考虑噪声控制方法。然后，将收集到的数据输入Expert choice。V. 11和Excel，使用TOPSIS进行数据分析。数据分析结果表明，所有案例的不一致率均小于10%，从而验证了回答的一致性。根据TOPSIS结果和专家对标准的意见，实施和维护成本(权重为0.481)和方法有效性和效率(权重为0.046)分别具有最高和最低的优先级。基于TOPSIS权重，设计和制造消声器是控制轮胎制造噪声的合适方法，要求负责人快速修复泄漏并及时更换烘烤压机清洗机。
