An integrated behavior decision-making approach for large group quality function deployment

Hu-Chen Liu et al.

Summary: Quality function deployment (QFD) is a team-based product development technique that aims to determine critical engineering characteristics based on customer requirements for higher customer satisfaction. This paper proposes a new large group QFD approach based on an extended TODIM method and interval type-2 fuzzy sets, with modifications to consider psychological factors and objective weighting methods. The effectiveness and practicability of the proposed approach are demonstrated through a comparison analysis with previous methods using an electric vehicle product development case study.

Toward an action-granularity-oriented modularization strategy for complex mechanical products using a hybrid GGA-CGA method

Liming Xiao et al.

Summary: Modular technology is a significant trend in the manufacturing industry, especially in the transformation and upgrading processes. However, previous studies have overlooked the modularization of large-scale and complex mechanical products. This study proposes an action-granularity-oriented modularization strategy to obtain finer-granularity modules, emphasizing simplicity and generality. The strategy utilizes the concept of key action components and a modularity-driven factor system to cluster components into modules and constructs a synthetic association DSM using the design structure matrix theory and evidence theory. Additionally, a hybrid genetic algorithm method is developed to search for optimal modular schemes based on the synthetic association DSM.

Liming Xiao et al.

Summary: This paper presents an extended FMEA method by using Z-fuzzy clouds and generalized TODIM to overcome the limitations of the traditional FMEA technique. The Z-fuzzy clouds are introduced to handle uncertainties and additional risk factors are included to build a multiple dimension risk factor system. The weighting models consider experts' bounded rationality and the interrelationships of risk factors.

A q-rung orthopair fuzzy decision-making model with new score function and best-worst method for manufacturer selection

Liming Xiao et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the importance of selecting the appropriate manufacturer in customized product development. A novel q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) score function is proposed to measure q-ROF values, addressing deficiencies in existing score functions. A new q-ROF-BWM is presented to determine fuzzy criteria weights based on q-ROF preference relations. Additionally, an improved WASPAS with q-ROF settings is introduced, and an integrated q-ROF-BWM-WASPAS model is developed to rank manufacturers. A case study, sensitivity analysis, and comparisons are conducted to validate the usefulness of the model.

An optimal Best-Worst prioritization method under a 2-tuple linguistic environment in decision making

Alvaro Labella et al.

Summary: Multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) involves evaluating alternatives over several criteria, which has given rise to large-scale group decision making (LS-GDM) problems with challenges such as group formation and opinion polarization. Using linguistic variables and computing with words (CW) processes has been successful in addressing uncertainty in real world MCGDM problems. The Best-Worst method (BWM) reduces pairwise comparisons and inconsistency in decision makers' preferences, while an extended 2-tuple BWM aims to provide accurate and interpretable results in MCGDM scenarios, including polarization opinions and sub-group identification.
