Definição de localidade para instalação industrial com o apoio do Fuzzy – Processo Analítico Hierárquico

método AHP combinado com a Lógica Fuzzy aplicado à um problema de definição de localidade para instalação industrial. O problema em questão conta com quatro possíveis localidades, e para cada, avalia-se seis diferentes critérios. As ferramentas apresentadas neste artigo demonstram-se eficientes e úteis do ponto de vista metodológico, uma vez que vários trabalhos já comprovaram a sua eficácia. Abstract It is a characteristic of modern industry, the constant search for more productivity, agility, innovation and speed in its processes. And to sum up, the expression Industry 4.0, which includes technologies for automation, data exchange, internet of things, cloud computing and concepts of cyber-physical systems, seeks to facilitate the vision of intelligent factories. However, when there is still no industry installed or when it is desired to expand the facilities, this important decision must be made taking several factors into account. Executives commonly find it difficult to provide technical justifications when they are tasked with defining the location of the industrial facility. This type of decision can be extremely important for the health of the enterprise, and it is essential to have the greatest possible assertiveness in the choice. In order to model the uncertainty of human preference, this article aimed to present the application of the AHP method combined with the Fuzzy Logic applied to a problem of defining a location for an industrial installation. The problem in question has four possible locations, and for each, six different criteria are evaluated. The tools presented in this article prove to be efficient and useful from a methodological point of view, since several works have already proved their effectiveness.
