Abstract—The ELECTRE I is one of the most extensively used methods to solve multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. In this paper, we propose a novel AHPbased ELECTRE I method of reliability design scheme decision for computer numerical control (CNC) machine. Based on the AHP method combined with ELECTRE I, the decision model is built to select the optimal design scheme. The AHP method is applied to determinate the weights of reliability design factors through the decision model. ELECTRE I method is then designed to rank reliability design scheme in order of decision maker’s preference. To evaluate performance of the developed algorithm, an illustrative example of CNC machine is given. The computational results show that the proposed approach is reliable and performs well.
