W3_ANG_AC Selection Considering Attributes

Problem Statement

Continued from my last posting that talked about selection of air conditioner product based on its optimal total life cycle, now I would talk about the same selection of air conditioner product but based on multi attributes.

In the case I have, I need air conditioner covering main bed room that size twenty-four meter square. Based on below rule of thumb, the required capacity is one and a half PK or twelve thousand BTU.

There are bunch of twelve thousand BTU air conditioners in market, so which one should I choose? There are many brands, many types which offer various attributes in market.

I would solve this problem using Tools and Technique discussed in Engineering Book, chapter 14: Decision Making Considering Multi Attributes”, page 551-573.

W7_APE_The Selection of Crew Transport Strategy to Site

1. Problem Definition

I had discussion with my manager concerning the selection of crew transport strategy to our site from Ternate. Two options available where 1^st option is using speed boat combined with commercial vehicle in 5 hours travel time, and 2^nd option with commercial aircraft straight to site in 30 minutes travel time. The consequence of option two is investment cost for upgrading existing airport to 2C ICAO airport class.
