Machine selection is an important step in the process of manufacturing. The selection process needs to consider some selection attributes simultaneously from a set of candidate machines. The attribute weights are important for the result of machine selection problem, but the most used AHP method has the shortcoming. Thus this paper will develop a new weighting method based on the concept of group eigenvalue method. Then the new machine selection method is proposed by combining group eigenvalue method with TOPSIS method. Two practical examples demonstrate that the proposed method has more effectiveness and feasibility.
