“…In the third place, there are marketing and communication practices. These results confirm the importance addressed to manufacturing practices in the improvement of environmental quality of the product concluded by Deltas & Ramirez, (2005);Ottman et al (2006); Nouira (2013); Feng et al, (2016). However, it is interesting to note that the point of view on these last practices is rather mitigated: the same number of respondents that think that there is no impact and those who think that there is a strong impact.…”

“…Besides, (Nouira, 2013a) states that product's environmental quality is linked to carbon emissions from transport activities; as well as to the emission rates generated by selected production process. Similarly, (Feng et al, 2016) consider as environmental attributes the carbon emissions and energy efficiency associated with the manufacture of the product.…”

The purpose of this paper is to identify which environmental criteria can influence the product demand in a context of business-to-business. These criteria can be related to the product's environmental characteristics, to the organization strategies or green practices developed by the firms and to the supplier selection process. Building the conceptual framework from the literature review, a set of environmental criteria were extracted, selected and validated. These criteria were used as a basis for the definition of a questionnaire survey that was sent to 5820 professionals from the food industry in France. The analysis of the 248 complete answers shows that the environmental characteristics of the product can influence product's demand. The most influential attribute to improve the product's environmental quality that increases the product's demand is the introduction of organic labelled raw materials. Besides, the practices that influence mostly the product demand are related to the geographical proximity with the stakeholders. Moreover, the results show that the most important selection criterion when choosing a supplier is the importance given to the quality and environmental performance of components offered. Hence, we show that in the French food market, as opposite to what is usually assumed in many research works, the carbon emissions yield during the production process and transportation process have still no significant impact on products' demand. Lastly, in this work, we quantify the demand increase that company can achieve when enhancing the environmental quality of its products. We show that the impact of the enhancement of those criteria on the demand can have different aspects. 55.6% of respondents advocate for a demand increase and most of them (33.6%) estimate this increase between 5 and 10% of the initial demand. Finally, some respondents (4.8%) indicate that the enhancement of environmental quality does not necessarily increase the demand. However, without efforts to enhance the environmental quality of their products, the demand can decrease. These findings allowed concluding that the business-customers are becoming more and more exigent by privileging organic labelled and local products and making that the companies analyse the geographical proximity with the stakeholders as a key factor during the selection process. We provide companies managers in food industry with better understanding about the environmental criteria that increase the products demand helping them to target the right decisions and to be efficient in their process of environmental quality enhancement. We also assess and try to quantify and give an estimation about the demand evolution regarding the enhancement of product's environmental quality. Our findings are also helpful for Operational Research community.

Reliability has become a greater concern in ship-board systems due to increasing technology, system complexity and multiple design demands. Enhancement the reliability of ship-board systems promotes to ensure safe and continuous operation onboard a ship. To enhance the reliability of ship-board system, it is essential to figure out each individual component reliability. Within this scope, reliability allocation analysis turns into an onerous task to enhance the reliability of ship-board systems through identification of possible component-based design, construction and operation optimizations. This study proposes a hybrid reliability allocation methodology based on hierarchical structure with the integration of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), data envelopment analysis (DEA) and feasibility of objectives (FOO) methods. The proposed methodology provides reliability allocation analysis for systems with any number of components. Also, the study figures out the usefulness of the adaptation of AHP-DEA into reliability allocation analysis. To demonstrate the applicability of proposed methodology, a case study on steering gear system is presented.

“…Reliability distribution is to assign the determined system reliability to each subsystem according to the different attributes and then each reliability will be distributed to the parts in the subsystem [7]. Traditional reliability allocation methods include analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method [10], integration of maximal entropy ordered weighted averaging (ME-OWA) [11], FOO method [12] and maximal entropy ordered weighted averaging method [13] But these methods do not take into account the fuzziness of reliability allocation [14], so the research on reliability assignment based on fuzzy mathematical model is also increasing [5]. 0Zadeh [15]put forward the concept of fuzzy set in 1965.…”

The reliability allocation of machine tools which is a multi-attribute decision making problem has great significance in designment of machine tools. This paper integrates the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and performance sorting technique based on similar ideal solutions to achieve the flexible allocation of machine tools reliability. Firstly, intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are employed to integrate decisions made by multiple decision makers and fuzzy information of their preferences. Then, intuitionistic trapezoid fuzzy numbers’ expectations are treated as the weights of criteria. Finally, performance sorting technique based on similar ideal solutions is used to obtain the reliability allocation weight of every subsystem. To investigate the efficacy and simplicity of the provided approach, reliability distribution in a CNC machine tool is introduced as an example to explain its specific contents. It can be concluded that the provided method is more precise and convenient by comparing the results of this approach with those obtained by analytic hierarchy process method.
