Customers buying used cars are affected by several factors. They areservice period, price, fuel consumption, size of engine, and amount of travelingdone. This paper quantifies these factors in terms of quality loss byusing Taguchi’s loss functions. An analytic hierarchy process is also employedto weight these factors in this multiple decision system. This systemprovides a more accurate and easier to construct evaluation model for selectinga used car. A numerical example is also presented to demonstratethe model in use. It can be helpful to the used-car broker to locate multiplecandidates whose attributes closely match those of the client for the purposeof promoting a mutually agreeable match. This approach should increasethe level of satisfaction among clients. |
