Decision making for machine tool selection is intractable work of managers due to the factors involving the vague and imprecise information. The degree of hesitation is considered in the experts judgment. In this paper, an integration of the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) Entropy and TOPSIS method are utilized to solve the vague information for decision-making process in machine tool selection. In particular, the weights of criteria are calculated by the IF Entropy and the TOPSIS is employed to determine the priority of alternative. The results of the numerical example show this integration is practical and easy to use for engineers and managers in the companies.

Aiming at uncertainty of process plans in the process decision making, the paper introduced a method based on ant colony optimization (ACO) to find out the set of optimal solutions for multi-objective machine tool selection. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to simplify process decision making plans, and the structural diagram of AHP was made up according to the different demands of manufacturing engineer. By means of the examples the different elements to different manufacturing processes are comprehensive evaluated, and the most splendid process scheme is evaluated, meanwhile the feasibility of the proposed method applying process decision making is verified.
