In this article, an integrated method is proposed for evaluating the requirements of smart manufacturing systems under the era of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things. This method uses systematic research on identifying, classifying, and evaluating the requirements of smart manufacturing systems with uncertainty, multi-users, and multi-disciplines. The results of this article provide a procedure to capture the preferential SMSs-R and the framework of SMSs-R. First, this method provides a comprehensive requirement of smart manufacturing identified by questionnaire survey, document reviews, and the affinity diagram method. Second, the classification of SMSs-R considers the multi-user preference by the fuzzy Kano model. Third, the best non-fuzzy performance and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method is used for evaluating and ranking the SMSs-R factor to solve the uncertain, vague, and preferential questions. Finally, we validated the effectiveness of the method through a real discrete manufacturing enterprise case.

Decisions usually involve the getting the best solution, selecting the suitable experiments, most appropriate judgments, taking the quality results etc., using some techniques.  Every decision making can be considered as the choice from the set of alternatives based on a set of criteria.  The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is a multi-criteria decision making and is dealing with decision making problems through pairwise comparisons mode [10].  The weight vectors from this comparison model are obtained by using extent analysis method.  This paper concern with an alternate method of finding the weight vectors from the original fuzzy AHP decision model (moderate fuzzy AHP model), that has the same rank as obtained in original fuzzy AHP and ideal fuzzy AHP decision models.

This study aims to investigate and evaluate factors related to the knowledge management model at universities in Hanoi, Vietnam. Based on the system literature review (SLR) approach, the study follows descriptive and inductive approach results of the document review process. Eight factors were synthesized with the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to evaluate the priority order. Ten experts from seven universities participated in the survey. The results rank as follows: (1) knowledge sharing factor (this also has the highest best nonfuzzy performance (BNP) and average multiplier weight (GM)); (2) knowledge management with big data systems; (3) knowledge creation; (4) knowledge use; (5) knowledge gathering; (6) leadership; (7) knowledge rating; and (8) knowledge storage. Discussions, conclusions, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future studies are also mentioned in this study.
