Abstract

Organizations deploying ruggedized handhelds experience complex device selection processes. The engineering manager-led decision-making process combines device-to-task fit and field service life. This selection process includes request for proposal processes, vendor negotiations, and device selection. The lengthy depreciation lifecycle often ensures a different practitioner team is organized to choose each new device iteration. A stochastic Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is introduced for device selection. A criterions-derived list from real-world data contrasting ruggedized solutions is proposed illustrating the stochastic AHP process. Results indicate the most preferred device. Scenario-specific selection cases based on work culture, environment, and function are represented through sensitivity analyses.

摘要

部署加固型手持设备的组织会经历复杂的设备选择过程。工程经理主导的决策过程结合了设备与任务的匹配和现场服务寿命。此选择过程包括征求建议书过程、供应商协商和设备选择。漫长的折旧生命周期通常确保组织不同的从业人员团队来选择每个新设备迭代。为设备选择引入了随机分析层次过程 (AHP)。提出了一个来自真实世界数据对比加固解决方案的标准派生列表，以说明随机 AHP 过程。结果表明最优选的设备。基于工作文化、环境和功能的特定场景选择案例通过敏感性分析来表示。
