Lean Manufacturing Assessment: Dimensional Analysis with Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets

Lean Manufacturing has become, in recent years, one of the most important philosophies for improving production and organizational systems. The literature shows that Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Terms Sets (HFLTSs) are highly capable of manipulating the uncertainty that the judgments made by evaluators...

description Lean Manufacturing has become, in recent years, one of the most important philosophies for improving production and organizational systems. The literature shows that Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Terms Sets (HFLTSs) are highly capable of manipulating the uncertainty that the judgments made by evaluators carry and that they are subject to their perception, especially when used in combination with multicriteria decision making (MCDM) for the measurement of indicators in this type of system, as well as their general performance. However, it is still of interest to researchers to develop techniques and instruments that facilitate the measurement of the results obtained after applying this philosophy in organizations. This article proposes a model for the evaluation of the Lean Manufacturing performance through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Dimensional Analysis (DA) using HFLTSs. The results obtained show that the proposed model is a solid tool for the evaluation of Lean Manufacturing systems from a different perspective and that it can be integrated into the issuance of evaluations in a better way by considering human subjectivity. At the same time, it offers a strategy to create priorities in the action plans that Lean system managers propose after evaluating. However, it is important to apply the proposed model to multiple organizations and analyze the results obtained to maximize its benefits.
