Abstract
Maintenance and repairs in organizations are becoming more and more important. With the increasing importance of equipment maintenance, various policies have been created for implementing maintenance and repairs. Organizations are looking to choose the best maintenance and repairs policy for themselves in order to reduce failure costs and optimize the costs of implementing the policy. As a result, multiple criteria are involved in choosing the optimal maintenance and repairs policy. Scoring the criteria is often not possible as a definite number, so the need to use fuzzy logic is felt. In this research, a method for evaluating maintenance and repairs policies with a fuzzy approach is presented. In the first step, the fuzzy dematel technique was used to weight the criteria. Then, the gray group analysis method based on interval fuzzy numbers was used to rank the options. Finally, a case study was conducted to better understand the method.
