Abstract:
In recent years, many printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing firms have looked upon workerproductivity improvement as the means by which they could improve their firm performance. This paper usesthe critical factors and interpretive structural modeling (ISM) that determine the structure of analyticalhierarchical process model in fuzzy environment. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) based methodologybe discussed to tackle the different decision criteria in a hierarchical structure in the improvement of workerproductivity. The findings advocate that these manufacturing firms would thereby the hierarchical model tosetup the priorities of the worker productivity improvement. The result finds that the best practice is mostcritical factor to overall objective.
