Abstract
The objective of this project is to select the design concept of conveyor system by using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process. According to (Zadeh, 1965), Fuzzy set theory can solve the impreciseness of the judgments. Then, according to (Fulvio et al., 2004), Fuzzy AHP is a method that is useful to deal with imprecise, uncertain and ambiguous information. There are three methods used in selecting the best conveyor system, which are Traditional AHP, Trapezoidal Fuzzy AHP and Triangular Fuzzy AHP. The design concept of conveyor that have been discussed in this project are chain conveyor, belt conveyor, roller conveyor and wheel conveyor. Several criteria in selecting the best design concept also have been discussed and compared. There are seven criteria discussed in this project which are cost, flexibility of the conveyor, speed of conveyor, item width and item weight that is transferred by the conveyor, safety and ergonomics of the conveyor. Traditional AHP and Triangular Fuzzy AHP showed the same ranking order of the conveyor while Trapezoidal Fuzzy AHP showed slightly different in ranking order of the conveyor selected. The most important criteria in selecting the best design concept of conveyor system is cost. The validation of the result by using Expert Choice Software showed that chain conveyor is the best design concept of conveyor in transferring the boxes in paper industry with the weightage of 0.5400, followed by belt conveyor with the weightage of 0.2760, roller conveyor with the weightage of 0.1230 and wheel conveyor with the weightage of 0.0610. The conclusion also has been drawn out from overall project where final conveyor design selected is justified and all the three objectives are achieved. Several suggestion and recommendations for future work also included for improvement.
