Surface defects of autobody panels have the greatest impact on the surface quality of the automobile body, but many enterprises lack a scientific and reasonable evaluation method of surface quality, relying solely on the subjective judgment of decision makers which will lead to an increase in the probability of misjudgment. In this paper, the subjective weight is determined by the genetic algorithm based on optimization, and the objective weight is determined by the improved deviation maximization method. Combining the hesitant fuzzy set theory, the hesitant fuzzy mixed weighted arithmetic average operator (HFHWA), and the score function, the surface defect information of the panel is quantified. On this basis, a complete set of hesitant fuzzy multiattribute evaluation model of surface defect information is proposed. Taking a batch of inner panels of the automobile door produced by A automobile enterprise as an example, five common defects including hidden pit, bump and scratch, rust, indentation pockmark, and ripple are selected as evaluation attributes to evaluate their surface quality, which verifies the validity and practicability of the model.
