Application of improved complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) method for rapid prototyping system selection

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the methodology of a decision-making method for selection of rapid prototyping process and comparison of it with previously developed methods.

Design/methodology/approach

Here in this work, the methodology of improved complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) method is used which can handle even qualitative data for attributes.

Findings

The proposed methodology is useful and can be applied to any kind of decision-making situation.

Originality/value

The proposed method provides more effective results as compared to other methods and with a simple flow of analysis.
