Prioritizing the barriers of manufacturing during COVID-19 using fuzzy AHP

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the global economy, supply chains, and government, posing an unparalleled health threat. The manufacturing sector was one of the most disruptive systems in the world at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most manufacturing companies have faced a lock-down situation and are focusing on the production of essential products. Furthermore, COVID-19 has altered customer behavior. The short-term and long-term effects of COVID-19 on the manufacturing sector must be evaluated to hasten recovery and build preparedness measures should another such disruption occur. The limitations affecting the construction system during this period were discussed and prioritized in this study. The ambiguous nature of human thinking makes it difficult to evaluate the qualitative parameters;hence, it is preferred to incorporate an approach that converts the variables into triangular fuzzy numbers to better represent the values of the criteria. A fuzzy analytical hierarchical procedure (FAHP) is applied to evaluate the limitation criteria in an ambiguous environment. "Growing demand for existing products" is considered the heaviest limit after "financial stagnation" and "setback in logistics services." The study results will help the manufacturing company in formulating and implementing strategies to overcome the pandemic situation. © 2023 River Publishers. All rights reserved.
