Abstract

In this study, to enhance flexibility and agility, a special DSS is developed for a system re-design problem, while a decision-making technique is employed afterwards to enable the accelerated and reliable results, as a progressive approach to close a gap of related literature. Proposed approach generates all possible machine schedules regarding some tangible traditional constraints, after that, generated schedules are ranked by ORESTE method regarding human related linguistic variables and ergonomic factors this time, with the aim of harvesting the best outcome. Thus, all traditional and newly introduced problem constraints could be optimized in the best schedule, while time and effort sources of organisation are preserved by employment of proposed DSS, mathematical modelling, and ORESTE. A numerical application of proposed approach is executed and mechanism of proposed novel model is explained in detail as well as usability and salutary of the approach is proved with real life data.
