To construct an ANP model for product family selection, different influencing factors are grouped in clusters in accordance with their similarities or self-similarities. For example, the most relevant factors affecting the product-process reconfiguration such as mass customisation, online customisation, product variety, product volume and product-process design are grouped within the reconfiguration-link cluster. Similarly, the factors affecting manufacturing requirements such as operational requirements, manufacturing cost and labour are grouped within the manufacturing-requirement cluster. It is important to note that a cluster might have an element, which could reflect its sub-elements influence. For example, manufacturing cost is an element within the manufacturing requirement cluster but itself could be considered as a cluster with its sub-elements, i.e. investment, operational cost, overhead cost and reconfiguration cost. The proposed ANP model built in a new version of Super Decisions (2011) is illustrated in Fig. 6.3. The new version has a new sensitivity command, which provide dynamic sensitivity of the selected criteria with respect to any linked criteria.
