Abstract:
Machines used in public slaughterhouses operate in compliance with health and animal welfare standards. Decision-making in the management of these machines involves the appropriate selection of equipment based on well-founded criteria and alternatives. Informed, data-driven decisions allow for the optimization of machine use, reduction of operating costs, and minimization of environmental impact, in addition to ensuring the continuity of operations and the quality of final products. This study aims to assist those responsible for the public slaughterhouse in Sumé in choosing the machinery necessary to slaughter animals from local breeders, applying the Modified Preference Selection Index (MPSI) and Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) methods. These methods consider decision criteria that will determine the best choice by comparing the different types of machines under analysis. The MPSI method was used to generate the weight of the criteria, while the WASPAS method was used to rank the alternatives. In addition, the Unified Method for Forward-Looking Strategic Planning (MOMENTUM) was used to construct prospective scenarios for public slaughterhouses, reinforcing the robustness of the applications of the methods mentioned above. The results obtained after modeling the methods indicated a set of machinery as the most favorable alternatives for the scenario under study.
