Abstract

Comprehensive evaluation is the key to ensuring that cloud manufacturing services can run smoothly over the whole life cycle of products. It is therefore of great importance to carry out a careful scientific evaluation of cloud manufacturing services. In this paper, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was adopted based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE), and a comprehensive evaluation index system and fuzzy trapezoidal membership function were established. At the same time, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy method, combination weights were obtained, and finally, a comprehensive evaluation model was determined using the five grades of “excellent”, “good”, “medium”, “qualified” and “poor”. Using 30 examples, it was verified that the established evaluation model could classify cloud manufacturing services effectively and systematically according to the different needs of users, thus providing a more effective reference for cloud manufacturing services.
