Machine selection with ENTROPY based MOORA method in production enterprises

The purpose of establishment of businesses; meeting human wants or needs, performing activities that will be beneficial to society, or gaining profit. The person or persons can achieve these goals with the necessary procedures or capital, but the important thing is to maintain their existence in the constantly developing and developing market. It is an important issue for the business owner or manager to take every decision effectively and accurately. The machine selection problem is also an important decision to be taken. In the literature, multi-criteria decision making methods are recommended in decision making problems with more than one alternative and more than one criterion. Since the machine selection problem is among the recommended methods, it is aimed to determine the best machine by using MCDM methods. ENTROPY and MOORA methods were used for the machine selection problem, which is both a strategic decision and taken in an uncertainty environment. While the alternatives determined for the analysis constitute the crawler excavators, the specified parameters were obtained from the working equipment of the excavators. Working equipment was obtained from the catalogs of the alternatives. The criteria were weighted with the ENTROPY method, which is an objective weighting method. MOORA methods were used to rank the alternatives. By combining the ranking results obtained from each method with the MULTI-MOORA method, a ranking according to dominance types was obtained. The ranking of the first three machines according to the results; found as SH3006, JS 300 LC, PC 300 LC-8.
