Abstract
Article history: Received August 28, 2015 Received in revised format November 28, 2015 Accepted December 6, 2015 Available online December 10, 2015 This research paper is aimed to present a fuzzy Hybrid Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for selecting employees. The present study aspires to present the hybrid approach of Fuzzy multiple MCDM techniques with tactical viewpoint to support the recruitment process of wind turbine service technicians. The methodology is based on the application of Fuzzy ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) and Fuzzy MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on basis of Ratio Analysis) which are integrated through group decision making (GDM) method in the model for selection of wind turbine service technicians’ ranking. Here a group of experts from different fields of expertise are engaged to finalize the decision. Series of tests are conducted regarding physical fitness, technical written test, practical test along with general interview and medical examination to facilitate the final selection using the above techniques. In contrast to single decision making approaches, the proposed group decision making model efficiently supports the wind turbine service technicians ranking process. The effectiveness of the proposed approach manifest from the case study of service technicians required for the maintenance department of wind power plant using Fuzzy ARAS and Fuzzy MOORA. This set of potential technicians is evaluated based on five main criteria. © 2016 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Owing to the revolution in using wind energy, maintenance of wind turbine has been a challenge to the maintenance engineering team
The objective of the present paper is to select the suitable Wind Turbine Technicians for a wind farm taking into account the considerable criteria initially by using ARAS-F (Fuzzy - Additive Ratio ASsessment) and by applying Fuzzy MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on basis of Ratio Analysis) under group decision-making environment for rating the candidates
The Fuzzy Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology can effectively signify the ambiguity and vagueness that are natural in any modern industry
Summary
Owing to the revolution in using wind energy, maintenance of wind turbine has been a challenge to the maintenance engineering team. A wind farm generates rated power output for supplying to the public or industrial service, without any interruption. Wind turbine service technicians known as wind techs play one of the most pivoted role for the same. Diagnose problems, repair parts or components of wind turbines. Maintenance work is carried out on the equipment for resolving electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic malfunctioning. It is imperative that the selection and recruitment of efficient wind turbine technician can increase the useful life of turbines. Personnel selection is the process of examining the applicants by evaluating their KSAPs (knowledge, skill, ability and personalities) for a definite job(s) and identifying the suitable candidate(s) for the organization’s requirements
