“…The primary objective in this activity to understand expert opinion of these specific members to aid in setting the priorities and consequently to conceive the best option that would be effective for successfully shaping the product. According to [3,4], it was crucial that engagement with client was important as it provides a basis to weight the available options for making decisions by taking into account the various criteria to strategically draw a conclusion. In tackling a project of this nature, MCDM method was suggested to be the desired technique.…”

“…A string of factors drives this design phase in order for a successful implementation of product design taking into account the most important aspect expected from the intended output. However, it is imperative that customer intended needs and preferences are closely reviewed and addressed in a systematic approach without incurring huge overheads which potentially leads to extra redesign costs and potentially delay in product realization [1,2,3]. It was acknowledged that majority of real-world decision problems traditionally involve multiple performance attributes, including both quantitative attributes and qualitative attributes of subjective nature.…”

Atrocities against stray animal’s especially large number of scavenging street dogs have increased at an alarming rate nationwide. Relevant authorities, in view of controlling stray animal population and curb chronic infections mulled cracking down on stray dogs using inhumane methods such as usage of tranquilizers or forcefully capturing. Thus, causing injuries, trauma and potentially death to these captured strays. Even though statistics about the number of violent incidents against strays remains unknown but animal welfare groups report constant complaints regarding animal cruelty. Animal activists mooted a request to design and built a modernize efficient yet low cost trap cage with a provision of technology which are normally ignored by many quarters; as a vehicle to educate the public on humane and compassionate ways to treat stray animals. The design of the cage involves consists of 3 parts, which was electronics hardware, communication system and critically the structure hardware whereby to withstand the possible aggressiveness of the animal. The objective of this paper is to present and apply the techniques of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in the prioritization and selection of design criteria of the trap cage. The finding shows that out of 5 design criteria, quality criteria is the most important criteria in designing of a humane trap cage issue. This is followed by innovativeness, cost, safety and aesthetics factors.

“…Maskepatil et al [8] employed AHP method for selection of the most suitable material among wood, steel, aluminium, glass fiber and carbon fiber for designing wind turbine blade and observed that carbon fiber was the best choice for the same. Luqmanet al [9] used AHP method to determine best suitable composite fabrication method to manufacture carbon fiber crank arm of bicycle and observed that compression moulding process was the best choice among all the manufacturing processes. Anojkumar et al [10] employed four different methods: TOPSIS, VIKOR, Electre computational and PROMTHEE computational for the selection of best steel material for pipe manufacturing in sugar industry and found that M 304 steel grade was best suited steel grade among all five steel grades.…”

Efforts are continuously being made by researchers to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions from the passenger cars. To achieve these goal, recent trend is to make the cars components light in weight for which manufacturing car roofs using natural fiber reinforced composites (NFCs) is one of the method. Several natural fibers (NFs)are available as alternative reinforcements for the fabrication of NFCs. Different NFs possess different properties and therefore, it is necessary to select the most appropriate natural fiber for fabrication of the composites which in turn will lead to the desired performance of the vehicle. Selection of the optimal natural fiber, amongst the several alternatives, is basically a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem as selection is based on the evaluation of several conflicting criteria. In this study, twelve alternative natural fibers (Flax,

“…The AHP process has been successfully applied to identify a design concept of a composite bumper beam [14], to select a fiber material for an automotive brake lever [15], to select a matrix for an automotive armrest [16] and to determine the most suitable composites manufacturing method for a bicycle crank arm [17]. In the case of the material selection for the automotive brake lever, only the four criteria weight (density), cost (raw material cost) and performance (strength and stiffness) were considered, the manufacturing process of the composite material was excluded.…”

“…Often, a sensitivity analysis verified the robustness of the decision against various scenarios. The process selection by Luqman et al took into account a wider range of criteria, such as production characteristic, the design, cost, material and ease of maintenance [17]. While these works indicate that the use of AHP was suitable for composite materials, parts have not been manufactured to verify the selection made through AHP.…”

Dry fiber tapes have become an alternative to pre-impregnated tapes for automated fiber placement. However, their industrial adoption is inhibited by high upfront research and development cost. To reduce the cost of material selection as part of such an investment, this work presents the application of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to material selection with a focus on material processability and manufacturing quality. The selection is based on procurement, material and its performance throughout the manufacturing process, and some laminate quality indicators. Criteria and sub-criteria were identified and implemented into the AHP. This established decision making tool was compared to a more efficient derivative using the chain of interaction method. Two materials, including the selected material, were used to manufacture a small-scale L-section composite component. This demonstrates that the proposed material selection method predicted the more preferable material for manufacturing quality when applied to a complex geometry.
