Evaluating the Best Belt Conveyor Assembly Using TOPSIS Approach

Abstract

This article presents a new approach for the selection of Belt Conveyor of screening creaser on the basis of their performance. This article includes the effective factors like angle of response, load capacity of motor, raw material load capacity, raw material dimension. These all important factors affect the performance of Belt Conveyor Assembly. Therefore, determination of the best Belt Conveyor is basically a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem. Our aim is to explore the applicability of an integrated AHP, TOPSIS and DOE method for selecting best Belt Conveyor Assembly. In this paper, AHP methods are used to determining weight sets, TOPSIS and Design of Experiment (DOE) methods are used together to identify critical selection attributes. Then interactions of each alternative are evaluated, using Minitab-16 for the empirical data suited to a polynomial in a multiple linear regression analysis. Finally Belt Conveyor Assembly has been graded and selected on basis of our methodology method.
