Aggregation of importance measures for decision making in reliability engineering
This article investigates the aggregation of rankings based on component importance measures to provide the decision maker with a guidance for design or maintenance decisions. In particular, ranking aggregation algorithms of the literature are considered, a procedure for ensuring that the aggregated ranking is compliant with the Condorcet criterion of majority principle is presented and two original ranking aggregation approaches are proposed. Comparisons are made on a case study of an auxiliary feed-water system of a nuclear pressurized water reactor
