Designing smart manufacturing workplace utilizing fuzzy screening approach

In spite of their continual prove of success in several environments, few attempts have considered developing systematic approaches for designing of smart manufacturing environments. In this article, attributed to uncertainty or vagueness associated with their impact assessment, fuzzy screening approach is proposed to thoroughly assess the potential of the smart enabling technologies with respect to the objectives of manufacturing workplace tasks and the elicited logical improvement opportunities. Expert multi-criterion assessment of a set of candidate smart technologies is carried out through employing fuzzy linguistics. A set of promising smart technologies will be proposed.
