Abstract

Decision making in daily maintenance requires consideration of multiple factors. The importance of each of the factors fluctuates depending on the repair scenario and the needs of the maintainer. In order to include the prioritisation of multiple criteria, a weighted decision making model is developed. The model evaluates all repair options and rates them individually for three decision making factors: survivability, cost, and downtime. The factor ratings are aggregated using designated weights, resulting in a final score for each of the repair options. This type of decision making evaluation provides flexibility in considering repair options that may otherwise be deemed unfavourable because of one factor. Case study results show one of five considered options as the best, for three of the four weight sets. The resulting best option of the other weight set demonstrates that definition of best repair is dependent on the priority of decision factors.
