“…Multi-criteria Decision Making as a discipline is rather young for the models and techniques of modern multi-criteria decision making which started to develop in 1950s and 1960s when many scholars were proposing their new models and techniques of multi-criteria decision making. The interest in this field of researches and development have continuously been growing in the past decades (Zavadskas et al 2014;Pohekar, Ramachandran 2004).…”

It is notable that the interest in clusters and their role in sustainable regional development are increasing as scholars often review this topic. Valuable observations are made on how the clusters should be researched in order to improve their performance which would result in economic growth both on regional and national scale. Clusters' performance is complicated to evaluate as the measures of the aspects that must be calculated differ and the most appropriate solution to formalize these aspects should be found. Different multi-criteria evaluation methods are suggested by scholars for a quantitative evaluation of performance of a certain phenomenon. This study attempts to present the clusters' performance evaluation by applying the multi-criteria SAW method. Seven clusters from Lithuania and Latvia were examined to serve the purpose of this study. The multi-criteria analysis could be used as a method in further evaluation of clusters' performance for it is comprehensible, easy to apply, helpful in the data evaluation of different measures and it provides adequate results, which is very important in a quantitative analysis. The results suggest that processes are very important in clusters' performance evaluation for clusters which show good results with processes, stay in high positions, whereas clusters which are keeping behind with processes show worse results in their performance. The study still needs to be supplemented by more clusters to obtain specific information and to elaborate on more specific clusters' performance evaluation methods.

“…Alguns trabalhos têm explorado o uso de métodos de apoio à decisão multicritério na área de energia (Pohekar & Ramachandran, 2004). Especificamente para aquisição de tecnologias ou energéticos em indústrias alguns trabalhos utilizando metodologia multicritério são encontrados na literatura.…”

“…O principal argumento para a utilização de uma metodologia multicritério é que os problemas humanos normalmente são de natureza multicriterial (Brans & Mareschal, 2005). Em áreas complexas como energia e sustentabilidade, com múltiplos critérios e muitos deles conflitantes entre si, os métodos multicritérios são ferramentas importantes que fornecem as informações necessárias para a tomada de decisão (Pohekar & Ramachandran, 2004).…”

ResumoA comunidade científica internacional tem considerado o uso eficiente de energia em sistemas de produção extremamente importante para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Este artigo estuda a melhoria da eficiência energética em sistemas motrizes industriais por meio de mudança tecnológica. Inicialmente é feita uma revisão de literatura para apresentar as principais ações e barreiras para a melhoria da eficiência energética em sistemas industriais de energia e também destacar o uso de uma abordagem multicritério em caso de mudança tecnológica. O artigo apresenta um estudo de caso em uma indústria com o objetivo de ordenar motores elétricos para serem substituídos utilizando o método multicritério PROMETHEE II. O estudo revela que a escolha dos critérios pode alterar a ordem de prioridade de escolha das tecnologias a serem substituídas, com impacto no desempenho das novas tecnologias. O artigo enfatiza a importância da integração de todas as áreas da empresa para que sejam atendidos os interesses da organização. Palavras-chaveEficiência energética. Sustentabilidade. Sistemas motrizes industriais.

“…All the interactions and feedbacks within clusters are called interdependencies where as interactions and feedbacks between clusters are called outer dependencies. Some of the recent applications of ANP include product planning with goal programming (Karsak et al, 2003), machine tool selection (Ayag and Ozddemir, 2011), flexible manufacturing system (FMS) selection (Chatterjee and Chakraborty, 2014;Maniya and Bhatt, 2011), hybrid approach based on DEMATEL, AHP, TOPSIS for evaluating green supplier (Buyukozkan and Cifci, 2012), product development (Soota et al, 2011;Zaim et al, 2014), optimum material evaluation for manufacturing of automobile bumper (Ilangkumaran et al, 2013), multi-criteria inventory classification (Kabir and Hasin, 2013), operations management review (Subramanian and Ramanathan, 2012), supplier selection (Chatterjee and Chakraborty, 2014;Yazdani, 2014), sustainable energy planning (Pohekar and Ramachandran, 2004), material handling equipment selection (Onut et al, 2009), evaluation of alternative industrial robots (Rehman and Ahamri, 2013), material selection (Rao and Patel, 2010), etc.…”

Abstract:The success of the company lies in understanding the customer preferences, tastes and anticipating the changes required in existing or new products being offered. The proposed methodology promotes the product development process using a decision perspective, considering it as a deliberate business processes with scores of generic decisions. The objective of this work is to enable a new and deeper understanding of how firms can structure and manage iterative and integrative approaches to product development in rapidly changing markets. This study uses a heuristic approach to formulate the problem of product development using an integrated approach of analytical network process (ANP) with quality function deployment (QFD) to evaluate the most satisfying design for customer. Identification of customer attributes and preferences is followed by structuring of the decision problem. The general feedback network is used to accommodate variety of interactions, dependencies and feedback between various elements. Model enables assessment of strategies to synthesise qualitative and quantitative factors in decision making keeping checks on consistency. Evaluation of the impact of the engineering characteristics weights is done for matching it with stated objectives. A case study for development of a hypothetical writing instrument for has been presented here for the proposed approach.
