One of the most important objectives of electricity distribution companies is to improve the reliability of the distribution networks. To this end, the electricity distribution companies try to optimally use the existing financial resources in the planning of preventive maintenance (PM) programs to reduce the imposed costs on the system due to the failure of network components and to improve the network reliability. In fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (fuzzy AHP) method, the degree of network reliability and the effectiveness of PM budget in the improvement of network reliability are selected as decision criteria in the budget allocation procedure. The areas served by the power distribution network are prioritized relative to each other and are assigned weights based on these priorities. The PM budget is determined based on the obtained weights. The medium voltage distribution network of seven areas in the city of Tehran have been selected for the implementation of the proposed method and the analysis of the obtained results.

“…These pressures arise from legislation that governs the effects of their actions and often imposes targets for emissions and waste reduction [White et al, 2014a;2014b;Chan et al, 2013]. External pressure also arises from the market's complex expectations that an organization will endeavour to act responsibly for the long-term benefit of the wider society [DEFRA, 2011].…”

“…The importance of managing 'green' issues in organizations has been recognized for a considerable length of time [Plant et al, 2015;White et al, 2014a;White, James, 2014;Chan et al, 2013;Pane Haden et al, 2009] and corporate attitudes towards the environment have become of increasing concern to the public [DEFRA, 2011;Clark, 2004]. Environmental issues are pertinent to both public and private sector organizations and they are increasingly becoming key elements of many organizations' strategies; further, there is an expectation to evidence the environmental performance of the supply chain.…”

“…Moreover, the fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (FAHP) was combined with LCA for the evaluation of green product designs in order to remedy the time-consuming process of traditional LCA [10]. Note that LCA is the most important approach to quantitatively analyze the eco-impact of a product from its life cycle.…”

Abstract-Recently environmentally conscious product design (ECPD) is highlighted by research community, because of the global conscious about low carbon emission and sustainable development. ECPD cares about the environmental, social and economic impacts of products during their life cycle phases, with the destination to achieve product life cycle design for sustainability. Furthermore, information and communication technologies are important for the implementation of computer-aided eco-design. The theories, methods, software tools about ECPD during 2005 to 2015 were reviewed in this work. Five most related aspects including product eco-design, design for disassembly (DFD), design for recycling (DFR), material selection (MS), and eco-design software tools were analyzed as related categories. Eco-impact assessment was found to be a pre-step in ECPD followed by product eco-innovation. DFD, DFR, and MS helped to improve the energy efficiency and eco-friendliness of products. Eco-design software tools are focusing on CAD-integration, web-based and knowledge base-based characteristics. More eco-design software tools will be developed in specific industries and to handling products with composite materials.Keywords-product eco-design; design for sustainability (D4S); eco-design software tools; state-of-the-art; eco-friendly produts
