Application of fuzzy ANP in production line selection evaluation indices system in ERP

Production line selection is evaluated as a critical factor in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). There may be dependence and feedback among factors of production line selection evaluation indices system. In this study, analytic network process (ANP) was adopted to model a multi-criteria production line selection evaluation indices system with dependence and feedback. Due to complexity in assessing production line selection indices system, it is difficult for decision-makers to provide exact numerical values for the factors. Therefore, a fuzzy ANP method was taken to calculate the weights of factors and sub-factors of the model, which can solve problems in an uncertain condition effectively.
