Abstract:

Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) offers opportunities for manufacturers to improve their technology, competitiveness, and profitability through a highly efficient and focused approach to manufacturing effectiveness. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been utilized as a multiple criteria tool for evaluation of FMSs. The concept of the assurance region (AR) is restricting the ratio of any two weights to some range to avoid the evaluated alternatives from ignoring or relying too much on any criterion in evaluation. In this paper, we develop a fuzzy DEA/AR method that is able to evaluate the performance of FMS alternatives when the input and output data are represented as crisp and fuzzy data.
