The model constructed is a general model which can be applied to any advanced manufacturing system justification problem. In the model, cost is directly included in a single hierarchy with tlie benefits, and the final decision is given depending on the priority vector of this single hierarchy. A hypothetical cell replacement decision in a cellular manufacturing system is given to demonstrate the application of the model.xiii, 69 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdvanced manufacturing systemspairwise comparisons.attributesAnalytic Hierarchy ProcessTS155.6 .U74 1991Flexible manufacturing systemsComputer integrated manufacturing systemsThesis
