The selection of an appropriate technological process is essential to achieve optimal results in manufacturing companies. This affects quality, efficiency and competitiveness. In the modern industry, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are increasingly used to evaluate, optimize and solve various manufacturing challenges. In this review article, existing methodologies and patents related to optimization and decision making are investigated. The main characteristics and applications of the methods are outlined. The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic review and evaluation of the main MCDM methods used in industrial practice, including through an analysis of relevant methodologies and patents. The methodology involves a structured literature and patent review, focusing on applications of widely used MCDM techniques such as the AHP (analytic hierarchy process), ANP (analytic network process), FUCOM (full consistency method), TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution), and VIKOR (višekriterijumsko kompromisno rangiranje). The analysis outlines each method’s strengths, limitations and areas of applicability. Special attention is given to the potential of the FUCOM for process evaluation in manufacturing. The findings are intended to guide researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate decision-making tools based on specific industrial contexts and objectives. In conclusion, from the comparative analysis made, the methodologies reveal their advantages and disadvantages as well as limitations that arise in their application.

Process planning, and process capability have always been closely interconnected and have play a pivotal role in manufacturing. Process planning involves defini

In the conditions of modern production, the choice of a rational technological process is crucial for the competitiveness and efficiency of enterprises. Traditional decision-making methods are often accompanied by subjectivity and insufficient precision, which determines the need for the implementation of modern information technologies. This paper addresses the selection of an optimal technological process through the application of a developed web-based software application. The software application integrates an algorithm in which a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method—FUCOM (Full Consistency Method)—is implemented, which allows the evaluation and comparison of alternative technological processes according to criteria such as price, time to produce, accuracy, roughness, shape deviation, etc. To confirm the effectiveness of the application, real production data is used, and the results show a significant reduction in time and subjectivity in decision-making. The developed application can be successfully implemented in enterprises of different industries, contributing to the increase in the efficiency of production processes and the optimization of resources.

In modern industrial production, the selection and evaluation of technological processes is a factor in achieving high quality, efficiency, and sustainability. Due to the existence of numerous and often contradictory criteria, the decision-making process requires the application of reliable multi-criteria methods. This article demonstrates the application of MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision-Making) methods, the FUCOM (Full Consistency Method), for evaluating and selecting a rational technological process under real production conditions. The research results presented in the article demonstrate that the FUCOM method ensures a high degree of consistency, transparency, and efficiency in the evaluation of technological processes. It allows, among a variety of alternative technological process for manufacturing a given product, for the clear identification of the most rational one according to specified requirements. The data obtained in a real production environment confirm the applicability of the method in the field of production engineering and provide a basis for future research and optimization of technological processes.
