Abstract
This paper proposes the use of Multi-Criteria Analysis for management maintenance processes where only linguistic information was available because this was the type of data provided by the company. We are interested on the problems related to pieces with diverse degrees of dirt. In this direction, we propose and evaluate a maintenance decision problem in an engine factory that is specialized in production, sale and maintenance of four stroke engines; medium and slow speed. In our case, Multiple Criteria Decision-Making refers to making optimal decisions over a finite number of available alternatives and criteria.
