Abstract
The main aim of this study is to develop a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) model to prioritise the faults of the sugar industry. Although the concept of fault diagnosis has been discussed in previous studies, fault diagnosis of sugar industry is not investigated yet. To fill this gap, this study is carried out in three main phases as follows. Firstly, the general faults of industries are developed from the previous literature. Secondly, the developed faults are investigated with regard to their availability in sugar industry. Finally, a FAHP model is applied to prioritise the faults of sugar industry. According to the results, old technology, improper financing, poor research and development and lack of creativity and innovation are four main faults of sugar industry, respectively. Some managerial implications are suggested to deal with these faults and improve the performance of this industry.
期刊介绍：
Today"s businesses have become extremely complex. The interplay of the three Cs, viz. consumers, competition and convergence, has thrown up new challenges for organisations all over the world. Sensitivity of economies to the external environment coupled with the turbulent process of globalisation has added the highest degree of uncertainty and unpredictability to business processes. To top it all, the effect of globalisation has shifted the balance of power in favour of the customer, though it may have opened a plethora of opportunities for all, in the form of variety and choice. For a variety of reasons, the pressures of competitive forces have enhanced product changes, supercharged by shortening product and technology development lifecycles.
