Analytical Network process (ANP), is applied here as a decision making technique for the selection of appropriate robots for industrial and automation applications. The core motivation of applying, in particular, the ANP technique is that robot selection is dependent upon a number of attributes and criteria which have strong influences/interdependencies upon each other. The ANP, as a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) technique for robot selection, captures the effects of these cross hierarchical dependencies, and appropriately maps the influences within the clusters and between the various alternatives. Simultaneously, the technique does not include the assumption of independence of higher-level elements from lower level elements and about the independence of the elements within a level. First, a set of attributes, which influence the selection of the robots, are identified. Next, using the various steps of ANP, viz., pair wise comparisons matrices and priority vectors determination and the development of the super-matrix the global weights of the attributes with respect to other attributes are determined. The final alternatives are then rated as per the graduated weights of the respective attributes. Thus, a comprehensive solution towards selection of robots enabling the decision-makers to suitably understand the complex relationships of the relevant qualitative and quantitative attributes in the decision-making is obtained. The technique is also illustrated using detailed analysis for a specific case of decision making between three robot suppliers and selection of appropriate robot from alternatives. In order to get more insight into relationships among various attributes and their effect on decision makers, the sensitivity analysis of the results with respect to determinant level attributes is carried out.

“…HTA analyses uses different methods, depending on the purpose of the assessment; some of them used economic approach: cost-analyses (Drummond et al, 1987), some a managerial approach SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analyses, logical framework (Armstrong, 1982;Kahveci et al, 2006) and some other a more pluralistic approach: Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) analyses, hierarchical clustering (Agrawal et al, 1991). Each of these methods have their own particular or partial judgment aspects.…”

“…Grover, Khan (2004, 2006) applied it for TQM evaluation of an industry and to find the role of human factors in TQM. There are multiple other applications of GTA in many areas; some representative ones are: robot selection (Agrawal et al, 1991), failure cause analysis (Gandhi & Agrawal, 1996), development of maintainability index for mechanical systems (Wani & Gandhi , 1999), machinability evaluation of work materials (Rao & Gandhi, 2002), capability envelop of a machining process (Huang & Yip-Hoi, 2003), performance evaluation of TQM in Indian industries (Kulkarni, 2005), selection, identification and comparison of industrial robots (Rao & Padmanabhan, 2006), to optimize single-product flow-line configurations of RMS (Dou et al, 2009) and so on.…”

“…The development and use of appropriate assessment approaches are crucial to ensuring that the analysis of each AMT project considers all benefits and costs (Small & Chen, Investment Justification of Advanced manufacturing Technology: An Empirical Analysis, 1995). The representing work of researchers in the field of AMS selection is as: Agrawal, et al, 1991;Bhangle, et al, 2004;Bozdag˘, et al, 2003;Braglia, et al, 2010;Chu, et al, 2003;Chuu, 2009;Karsak, et al, 2002;Kumar, et al, 2010;Luong, 1998;Rao, et al, 2006;Sambasivarao, et al, 1995;Sarkis, 1997;Yurdakul, 2004.…”

Globalization has put fierce competition for manufacturing managers in terms of flexibility, smaller lead times, competitive costs, etc. To attain these capabilities, manufacturing managers are taking heedless decisions for investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, without measuring their actual effectiveness for their organisations. There is a need to measure the effectiveness of manufacturing systems to make better future policies and investment planning. This paper provides a comprehensive bibliography on the techniques and their rationale in the effectiveness measurement of advanced manufacturing systems. The paper cites 265 articles from a variety of published sources. The list contains published research mainly from 1990 to 2012 and a selected published work prior to 1990.
