Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to propose a technique for agility evaluation and ranking production units using verbal variables set and if-then rules. First, organization’s agility level has been evaluated by Fuzzy Agility Index (FAI), and then, production units of the organization have been ranked by Interval Fuzzy ELECTRE technique. By the use of this technique, all of the alternatives have been evaluated based on non-rating comparisons and those of ineffective have been removed. In the next stage, a four dimensional matrix has been proposed as a facilitating tool for decision making process and achievement of managers' goals. In fact, appropriate strategies have been determined for planning and decision making, according to available conditions and ideal situations.     Keywords: Agile Manufacturing System (AMS), Fuzzy logic, Fuzzy Agility Index (FAI), MCDM methods, Interval Fuzzy ELECTRE technique.
