Abstract

This paper presents a review of recent academic papers (since January 2017 until February 2018) on the FAHP applications on manufacturing environments. The main aim of the research was to identify whether FAHP was still of interest to the academic community, as a previous phase to decide its application on further research that the authors aim to undertake. The main results point out that FAHP applications on manufacturing environments: (1) are still of interest at the light of both the number of publications and the quality of the journals; (2) FAHP is usually not used in isolation but complemented with other tools, mainly TOPSIS; (3) the most common applications are for evaluating and/or selecting suppliers, resources, sustainability, or risk factors; (4) There is a lack of applications on core operational improvement processes.
