description The wind energy industry is expanding in order to be able to meet the current and future energy demand, and is supported by governments in that renewable energy investment has been made. Optimal decision making (DM) in wind turbine manufacturing is required to guarantee the competitiveness of the business. This paper considers decision making for wind turbine manufacturing using a logical decision tree (LDT) and binary decision diagrams (BDD). A qualitative analysis of wind turbine manufacturing is carried out using logical decision trees. They are used for a qualitative study of the case study. Binary decision diagrams are used to obtain the Boolean function and, therefore, to carry out a quantitative analysis. Finally, an optimization of budgets is employed based on importance measures. There is no optimal method that can establish the importance measures. The following heuristic methods have been used to find a solution close to the optimal: Fussell-Vesely, Birnbaum and Criticality. The computational cost is reduced by ranking the events. The heuristic methods to establish the best rankings are: Top-Down-Left-Right, Level based method, AND based method, Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth First Search (DFS). A real case study is considered, in which a static and dynamic analysis is carried out.
