Abstract

The increase rate of change in the economic, political and social environments of business today has led to growing competitiveness, uncertainties and risks. These circumstances have led to a dramatic increase in attention given to strategic planning of all kinds. Planning of production method has itself received a good deal of attention in recent years. Under such circumstances, a firm would have a better chance of success and survival by a judicious spread of its resource and investments achieved through production method selection. In this study, information about selection process used for many industrial production areas will be given. After selecting criteria, an expert survey will be implemented to determine the importance of the criteria. Results showed that technical specifications are much more important than general specifications and specification of the suppliers.
