Fuzzy Applications of FUCOM Method in Manufacturing Environment

Conventional manufacturing methods are limited in the machining of newly developed high strength, precision / brittle and complex shaped parts. Non-conventional manufacturing methods are required to machine such parts. Choosing the most suitable manufacturing method for the part is a vital decision-making problem and the solution of this problem is very important for today's manufacturers. In this study, three different Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) methods were combined with fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method (fuzzy TOPSIS) and fuzzy weighted aggregated sum product assessment (fuzzy WASPAS) techniques. In order to test these developed methods, the selection of non-traditional manufacturing methods from the literature was taken as a case study. It is seen that the model produced successful results.
