Abstract
End of life vehicle (ELV) is a significant renewable resource with enormous economic value and environmental value. This paper introduced a novel approach that combines the gray correlation and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) with an interactive technique in order to consider both quantitative and qualitative features simultaneously in ELV plant facility layout problem. The gray interval number of gray correlation is used as the expert’s evaluation score of the impact factor of the ELV dismantling plant, DEMATEL constructs a direct impact matrix by analyzing the causal relationship between various influencing factors in the system. The proposed approach is applied to the case of a realistic ELV dismantling plant, and the evaluation framework for an ELV plant layout alternatives and design assessment analysis also conducted. The results show that it provides a systematic decision support tool and a feasible approach for evaluation of ELV disassembly plant layout alternatives.
Highlights
End of life vehicle (ELV) is a significant renewable resource with huge economic value and environmental value [1]
ELV recycling and dismantling enterprises require a reasonable facility layout, which directly relates to the dismantling efficiency of ELV and the quality of the recycling products caused by advanced disassembly technology [6], [7]
It consists of two phases, the gray interval number of gray correlation is used as the expert’s evaluation score of the impact factor of the ELV dismantling plant, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) constructs a direct impact matrix by analyzing the causal relationship between various influencing factors in the system
Summary
End of life vehicle (ELV) is a significant renewable resource with huge economic value and environmental value [1]. To our knowledge, hybrid gray correlation and fuzzy DEMATEL approaches have not been employed to solve the ELV plant facility layout problem. We introduced a novel approach that combines the gray correlation and DEMATEL with an interactive technique, in order to consider both quantitative and qualitative features simultaneously in ELV plant facility layout problem. It consists of two phases, the gray interval number of gray correlation is used as the expert’s evaluation score of the impact factor of the ELV dismantling plant, DEMATEL constructs a direct impact matrix by analyzing the causal relationship between various influencing factors in the system.
