Abstract The reliability allocation of machine tools which is a multi-attribute decision making problem has great significance in designment of machine tools. This paper integrates the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and performance sorting technique based on similar ideal solutions to achieve the flexible allocation of machine tools reliability. Firstly, intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are employed to integrate decisions made by multiple decision makers and fuzzy information of their preferences. Then, intuitionistic trapezoid fuzzy numbers’ expectations are treated as the weights of criteria. Finally, performance sorting technique based on similar ideal solutions is used to obtain the reliability allocation weight of every subsystem. To investigate the efficacy and simplicity of the provided approach, reliability distribution in a CNC machine tool is introduced as an example to explain its specific contents. It can be concluded that the provided method is more precise and convenient by comparing the results of this approach with those obtained by analytic hierarchy process method.

There are many factors influencing the reliability allocation of CNC machine tools and some are difficult to analyze quantitatively, a comprehensive reliability allocation method is proposed using interval analysis, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and analytic hierarchy process. Many influence factors were considered and endowed with different weight respectively according to the influence degree. In this paper, a reliability allocation model is proposed for CNC machine tools, which used interval number instead of real number to express uncertain information. It could make use of the field test information and experts’ experience comprehensively. Finally, the application of this method is illustrated with an example, and the results showed that the allocation method is feasible and effective for the reliability allocation of CNC machine tools.
