Application of AHP in Aerospace Configuration Management

Aerospace products undergo frequent modifications throughout their product life cycle due to changes in requirements, technology, policy or environmental concerns. These modifications/changes are dealt with through configuration management (CM), which is a techno-managerial function. Conflicting interests of teams involved, complexity due to a long product life cycle spanning over years, R&D nature and techno-political compromises often end up in sub-optimal decisions during aerospace product development. In this article, an attempt is made to apply a scientific method to CM decision-making rather than leave it to techno-political compromises. The CM decision-making is modelled as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem and is solved using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). As an example, the CM change proposal on propellant tank material in aerospace is taken up and solved using the model. The authors believe that results of the study will also pave way for substitute development with improved attributes, realized through advances in technologies such as nanotechnology and additive manufacturing, as mentioned in directions for future research.

State of the Art Review on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Urban Mobility

Cultural, economical, political, and social developments, added to population increases, favored the consolidation of cities. However, rapid city growth in the last decades has contrasted with the slowness in which states and municipalities responded to the new reality. In this sense, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a leading multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, can be applied in the solution of common demands among municipalities, evaluating alternative plans for urban mobility. Since AHP has been applied to these specific decision problems, our research question is: How has AHP been applied to solve decision problems regarding urban mobility? The objective of this work is to identify the state of the art of AHP applications to urban mobility. To answer the research question, this paper presents a literature review (LR). State of the art review (SAR) is an LR approach expected to deliver results with medium comprehensiveness and results closer to exhaustive. With the support of graphical software, three clusters were identified, in the keywords network: AHP, Innovation & Public Management, and Urban Mobility. In the AHP cluster, research is driven by methodological subjects; on Innovation & Public Management, there is an open discussion on local versus national coordination; and the urban mobility cluster has hybrid or non-AHP applications of MCDM.

Evaluation of CO2 Emissions Reduction Strategies in the Iranian Cement Industry

Portland cement as the main constituent of conventional concrete is the most widely used cementitious material in the construction industry. But Portland cement production has major environmental disadvantages, including high energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. So that production of Portland cement is accounted for 7 to 10% of global CO2 emissions. Considering the amount of Portland cement production and CO2 emissions in Iran, it can be concluded that Iran is facing environmental problems caused by cement production. Hence, various CO2 emissions mitigation strategies of Iranian cement industry have been evaluated in this study. This research work applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to evaluate and prioritize mitigation strategies. The obtained results showed that among the 16 strategies studied, clinker substitution (blended cement) and production of low carbon cements such as geopolymer cement were recognized as the most important strategies to reduce CO2 emissions in the Iranian cement industry.

Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process for Structural Health Monitoring and Prioritizing Concrete Bridges in Iran

This paper proposes a method for monitoring the structural health of concrete bridges in Iran. In this method, the bridge condition index (BCI) of bridges is determined by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). BCI constitutes eight indices that are scored based on the experts’ views, including structural, hydrology and climate, safety, load impact, geotechnical and seismicity, strategic importance, facilities, and traffic and pavement. Experts’ views were analyzed by Expert Choice software, and the relative importance (weight) of all eight indices were determined using AHP. Moreover, the scores of indices for various conditions were extracted from experts’ standpoints. BCI defines as the sum of weighted scores of indices. Bridge inspectors can examine the bridge, determine the scores of indices, and compute BCI. Higher values of BCI indicate better conditions. Therefore, bridges with lower BCI take priority in maintenance activities. As the case studies, the authors selected five bridges in Iran. Successful implementation of the proposed method for these case studies verified that this method can be applied as an easy-to-use optimization tool in health monitoring and prioritizing programs.

Application of AHP and FAHP Algorithm for Supplier Development Evaluation

Implementation of supplier development (SD) is appropriate for a firm that intends to reduce costs and streamline its operations while minimising defective products. However, the number of practices involved in the SD program is too large, making them difficult to manage. Conventionally, the selection of decisions is based on multicriteria and is often complex and unstructured. Thus, this paper proposed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) methodologies to evaluate and select SD practices. Both methods produced the same result. The results obtained can be indicated by the production professionals as guidelines to look for the opportunity to implement the SD program to improve the capabilities of their suppliers.

An Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process in Selection of Coating Material Composition in Lost Foam Casting Process

In modern industrial era, the dimensional accuracy and surface finish are two major criteria in the selection of casting process. To achieve this paradise, lost foam casting is one of the casting processes. In this casting process, the shell is made by removal of expandable polystyrene or foam pattern with the application of heat. During the foam decomposition process, many problems have been generated such as bending, expansion, distending and crack of the shell. These problems may be eliminated by selecting the optimum ratio of coating materials. In this research work, zircon and aluminium silicate refractory coating materials with sodium silicate binder have been used with different composition and prepared the four test samples from them. For selection of best shell material composition, analytical hierarchy process is used.
