Abstract
Hospitals and healthcare centers should take decisions on processes for acquisition, use, maintenance and replacement of medical equipments during their life cycle. Besides, managing large number of medical equipments is a complex and critic operational issue regarding an effective maintenance management which reduces operational costs at a significant ratio. The aim of this paper is to propose an integrated ranking procedure for replacement decisions in a health care setting including both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Both Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) techniques are integrated to make a prioritization of the criteria. A numerical illustration is applied to the proposed model.
