Ready Mixed Concrete
Selection through
Management Approach
Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for
Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution
(TOPSIS) method
In this book, Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) industry is continuously growing
all over the world and India is not an exception to it. The pace of
mechanization in the past was very slow due to the availability of cheap
and abundant labor, lack of capital investment and the highly fragmented
nature of the construction sector. The present approach lacks scientific
methodology and does not consider multi-criteria in decision making.
There is a need of scientific Ready Mixed Concrete selection approach.
Such approach will provide the best selection of Ready Mixed Concrete
considering all aspects of the process. Hence this research study is planned
to develop a mathematical approach to Ready Mixed Concrete selection
with the help of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for
Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method which will
help the decision maker to understand the problem systematically.
