Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Application of the AHP method for checking the quality of mechanical transmission half shaft   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: Nowadays, the Moroccan automobile industry is in continuous progress, automobile manufacturers are doubling their efforts in order to meet the challenge toward global competition and customer requirements. However, quality issues present a brake on the evolution. Indeed, quality plays a very important role within the company. For that, our research is oriented towards the classification of quality defects, within a Moroccan automobile manufacturer of mechanical transmission parts. Thereby, a classification method based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is applied to classify these defects according to criteria chosen by stakeholders during the manufacturing process. In this context, five quality defects will be considered and four criteria will be chosen, this classification helps us to analyse the defects in order of priority. As a result, after data collection and application of the AHP method, the primary defect that requires resolution is non-uniform hardness, with a score of 70%.
    Keywords: quality; analytical hierarchy process; AHP; quality defects; automotive industry; classification.
