Abstract: | The availability of aging systems, particularly weapons systems within the Department of Defense, is of significant concern as budgets tighten and system replacement is infeasible. This work addresses the selection of sole suppliers according to their ability to provide component parts that strengthen availability of the system. We extend a popular multi-criteria decision-making approach, TOPSIS, by (i) considering the availability of individual components as the criteria in the decision problem and (ii) weighting those criteria according to the value of component importance measures while (iii) accounting for uncertainty in underlying reliability and maintainability parameters with interval numbers. |
