DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMAL ALTERNATIVE POST-PRINTING PROCESSES

Abstract

The paper presents alternative options for performing post-printing processes are designed and the optimal one is selected according to the method based on linear convolution of criteria, which consists in extracting the maximum value of utility functions.

The factors of the Pareto set are singled out — the most priority factors influencing the quality of post-printing processes. Three alternatives have been designed. A table for evaluating alternatives based on the importance of selected factors has been constructed. Matrices of pairwise comparisons of factor weight values were formed. Normalization of the main eigenvector of the matrix of pairwise comparisons was carried out using the program "Simulation modeling by the method of binary comparisons". The utility function of each designed alternative was calculated by the factors of the Pareto set. The reliability check was carried out according to the maximum value of the main eigenvector, consistency index, consistency ratio. The best alternative based on the maximum value of the utility function is determined.
