Item Analysis of the manufacturing flexibility parameters with effective performance metrics: a new interactive approach based on modified TOPSIS-Taguchi method(2022) Ic, Yusuf Tansel; Sasmaz, Turgut; Yurdakul, Mustafa; Dengiz, Berna; 0000-0001-9274-7467; AGE-3003-2022Flexibility is one of the most important strategy parameters to achieve a long-term successful performance for a manufacturing company. Studies in the literature aim to operate a manufacturing system at optimum levels of flexibility parameters under its own manufacturing environment. This study aims to present an interactive analysis framework based on TOPSIS and Taguchi parameter design principles for investigating the effects of different levels of flexibility parameters on the performance of a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC). The main performance metric used in this study is manufacturing lead time. Other important metrics to evaluate quality control and inspection policies are also investigated in this study. To conclude, a combined model of an interactive approach based on TOPSIS and Taguchi methods are used to assess the effectiveness of the flexibility parameters for a FMC.Item Understanding the Effect of Assignment of Importance Scores of Evaluation Criteria Randomly in the Application of DOE-TOPSIS in Decision Making(2019) Ic, Yusuf Tansel; Yurdakul, Mustafa; 0000-0001-9274-7467; AGE-3003-2022In conventional applications of hybrid DoE-TOPSIS technique in decision making problems, full factorial design layouts are generally used because of their ability to measure the effects of all possible combinations for evaluation factors. In a typical application, for a design layout, a number of replications are generated by assigning different sets of relative importance scores for evaluation factors. A TOPSIS score is then obtained for each experiment and replication pair. Regression analysis is finally applied to obtain a relationship with inputs (values of evaluation factors) and outputs (alternatives' TOPSIS meta-model scores). The key in conventional application of hybrid DoE-TOPSIS technique is generation of relative importance scores. Each set of scores can be assigned by a decision maker or generated randomly. This paper aims to determine whether using either of the two methods in determination of relative importance scores makes any difference in the ranking orders of alternatives.Item The development of a reviewer selection method: a multi-level hesitant fuzzy VIKOR and TOPSIS approaches(2021) Kocak, Serdar; Ic, Yusuf Tansel; Atalay, Kumru Didem; Sert, Mustafa; Dengiz, Berna; 0000-0001-9274-7467; AGE-3003-2022This paper proposes a new approach for the selection of reviewers to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects using a new integrated hesitant fuzzy VIKOR and TOPSIS methodology. A reviewer selection model must have a multi-level framework in which reviewer selection strategies and related objectives guide the second level of the reviewer performance ranking process. The model must measure reviewer performance related to the activities that are necessary for the R&D project evaluation to be successful. A novel model is presented in this paper. In the proposed methodology, the aim is to select a reviewer in a hierarchical decision-making structure. The selection criteria values and their weights were obtained using the hesitant fuzzy VIKOR method. For the selection of a suitable reviewer, the conventional TOPSIS model was used. We developed a simpler procedure for effectively performing the reviewer selection process. The new approach was tested with a real case study and satisfactory results were obtained. A comparative analysis is also included in the article for illustrative purposes.Item A knowledge-based material selection system for interactive pressure vessel design(2020) Yurdakul, Mustafa; Balci, Arif; Ic, Yusuf Tansel; AAI-1081-2020Continual introduction of new materials and improvements in existing materials increase the variety of materials that can be used for pressure vessel components. Among wide variety of materials, the most suitable one must be selected for a component by matching its functional requirements with various available materials' specifications. This study proposes an interactive knowledge-based decision support system for selecting the most suitable material for a given pressure vessel component and its working environment. The developed decision support system, namely Pressure Vessel SELection (PVSEL), consists of two separate phases. In the first elimination phase of PVSEL, the user obtains a feasible set of alternative materials by answering various questions and providing lower-limit values at materials' critical specifications. PVSEL, then, uses a ranking phase which uses ELECTRE, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods to rank the feasible materials. In the second phase, each alternative material's ranking is determined by combining its performance values at weighted critical specifications (selection criteria), which are considered as important in meeting the functional requirements of the component. Usage of PVSEL is illustrated in the paper and the results show that the proposed PVSEL is an effective selection tool and provides meaningful results for the designers.Item A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE CAPABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE MIXED INTEGER PROGRAMMING FORMULATIONS(2018) Keseci, Baris; Derya, Tusan; Dinler, Esra; Ic, Yusuf Tansel; AAC-4793-2019; F-1639-2011; AAI-1081-2020In selecting the best mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation the important issue is to figure out how to evaluate the performance of each candidate formulation in terms of selected criteria. The main objective of this study is to propose a systematic approach to guide the selection of the best MILP formulation among the alternatives according to the needs of the decision maker. For this reason we consider the problem of "selecting the most appropriate MILP formulation for a certain type of decision maker" as a multi-criteria decision making problem and present an integrated AHP-TOPSIS decision making methodology to select the most appropriate formulation. As an example the proposed decision making methodology is implemented on the selection of the MILP formulations of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). A numerical example is provided for illustrative purposes. As a result, the proposed decision model can be a tool for the decision makers (here they are the scientists, engineers and practitioners) who intend to choose the appropriate mathematical model(s) among the alternatives according to their needs on their studies. The integrated AHP-TOPSIS approach can simply be incorporated into a computer-based decision support system since it has simplicity in both computation and application.
