Abstract :
Process selection is an important issue for manufacturers to increase their products´ competitiveness. The paper applies two different methods to help a semiconductor manufacturer select a process among four alternatives based on their operational benefits. The first one is the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for making selection(s). The second is the operational competitiveness rating (OCRA) procedure for gauging the relative performance of operating units
