Abstract

The unique area of friction stir welding that involves Al-TiB2 composite development stirs controversy and fails to offer a clear understanding of how to choose the best composite among alternatives without subjectivity. At present, the experienced fabricator uses intuition in judgement, leading to wrong or inconsistent decisions. In this paper, the WASPAS multicriteria model is deployed to choose the best Al-TiB2 composite among options using tensile strength, ductility and microhardness as attributes. The procedure generally entails normalization, preference score and ranking determination and literature data was used. The emerging conclusion from this study is that irrespective of the weight determination method and the multicriteria model adopted to evaluate the alternative fabricated Al-TiB2 composites, the Al-10%TiB2 and Al6065 based alloy always reveal as the best and worst composites, respectively, even under varied normalisation methods. The research confirmed that multicriteria analysis is a potential objective method to choose among fabricated alternatives. The work showed that there is scope to evade the consequences of subjectivity in composite decision making by attaching adequate weights to the deciding factors thereby avoiding misguidance and incorrect decision making. Furthermore, multicriteria models offer novel approaches to understand the relative preference of fabricating composites to one another in the metal matrix composite development area.

Abstract

This paper presents the research conducted on three tradesmen, the mechanics, carpenters, and welders, to measure and compare the left and right hands' dimensions and evaluate the hand index to understand the measurements. Despite rea's utility, the area's utility research has analyzed these technical personnel's hand characteristics. Compared with manufacturing systems, small businesses and entrepreneurs are loss studied. Still, opportunities abound to recognize, appraise, and explore novel instances associated with new product development with detailed information on their hand measurements. Data was collected from mechanics, carpenters, and welders rating in Lagos, Nigeria. The analysis is divided into hand measurements, finger measurements, hand index of the mechanics, carpenters, and welders. The subjects ranged between 18 and 60 years, and measures were made while the subject stands erect. Vernier caliper and tape rules were made. Data concerning heights, hand's height and width, and other aspects of the hand were collected. It was observed that the carpenters have higher values of the hand length to the right third finger. By comparing the mechanics and welders, the mechanics have higher values throughout the experiment. The subjects' heights for carpenters have the highest values. The right and left-hand dimensions are close for the mechanics. There is a greater deviation for the left and right hand for the welders. The deviation is also observed for the carpenters.

Abstract

In the drilling operation, defects such as delamination at exit and entry are very disturbing responses that impact the efficiency of the drilling process. Without control, an exponential growth in the amount of drilled components with defect quantities may result. Thus, the process engineer has input in attaining the desired production levels for components in the drilling process. Consequently, this article deploys a novel method of data envelopment analysis to evaluate the relative efficiency of the drilling process in reducing the defects possible in the producing components from the CFRP composites. The high-speed steel drill bits were utilized to process the CFPs, while the responses considered are the entry and exit determination, thrust force, and torque, among others. Literature experimental data in twenty-seven experimental counts were summarized into fewer groups and processed through the data envelopment analysis method. The results show that capturing the CFRP composite responses is feasible, providing an opportunity for enhanced efficiency and a situation where undesirable defects in the CFRP composite production process may be eradicated. The article’s uniqueness and primary value are in being the foremost article in offering an updated vast representation of the comparative efficiency of CFRP composite parameters within the literature for the composite area. The work adds value to the CFRP composite literature by envisaging and understanding the comparative efficiency for the parameters, identifying and separating the best from the worst decision-making unit. It also reveals how the parameters are linked by their relative placements. The article's novelty is that using data envelopment to compare the efficiency in reducing drilling defects such as entry and exit determination, among others. The method’s utility is to provide information for cost-effective drilling operations during the planning and control phases of the operation.

Abstract

With the bottling plant facing safety impacts, the commitment toward zero levels of accidents needs to be evaluated. However, the perception and measurement of safety conformity by the safety manager that is subjected to imprecision and uncertainty are hardly evaluated correctly with the present dominant approach of using crisp numeric values. This article presents a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to reduce the imprecision and uncertainty in the safety conformity multicriteria decision-making results. The method establishes and selects the best safety conformity factors in alignment with different criteria within the segments of a Nigerian bottling plant. The fuzzy synthetic extent concerning each alternative, the degree of possibility, prioritizing weights, and the choice of the best criterion were judged based on the maximum weight in the FAHP evaluation process. The average weight criterion was used to distinguish the best from the worst units within each segment. The results reveal the criteria weights as 0.4937 for haulage drillers (warehouse), 0.3038 for palletizers (manufacturing corridor), 0.3333 for syrup mixers/lab technicians for quality assurance, and no choice of the best parameter for the fleet workshop. However, the highest weight for the contractors is 0.3201, which is for contractor 1. To compare the best and worst criteria in the present study and a literature source, the optimal criteria choices of safety conformity conflicted in all the segments. The principal difference between the present method and the analytic hierarchy process approach is integrating fuzzy application to the analytical hierarchy process to provide a more accurate safety conformity assessment, yielding reliable and informative results representing the vagueness of the bottling process decision-making process. This unique approach provides an opportunity for the production workers to work more collaboratively towards attaining new solutions to the uncertainty and imprecision problem in safety conformity for the bottling plant.
