“…The working logic of ATC method ATC method has been widely used in two aspects. One is ATC improvements, such as weighting update method to achieve acceptable consistency deviation in ATC , generalized probabilistic ATC formulation (Liu et al, 2006), extending ATC method to obtain Pareto solutions (Kang et al, 2014b), quadratic exterior penalty function based ATC approach (Jiang et al, 2015) . The other is ATC applications on solving various engineering problems, for instance, automotive chassis design (Kim et al, 2003b), exploring the interrelationships between consumer preference and engineering capabilities , formulating and solving the product and process tolerance allocation in multistation compliant assembly (Li et al, 2008), developing system to realize decentralized supply chain configuration over supply chain grid (Qu et al, 2010b), optimal design of commercial vehicle system (Kang et al, 2014a).…”
