Mohamed Salaheldin Biography• Mohamed Salaheldin, is Business Excellence Sector Manager at Sidpec; Sidi Kerir
Petrochemicals Co. and acting as Company Energy Manager.
• He is a PhD researcher, Production Engineering Department, AlexandriaUniversity, Egypt.
• He earned his M.Sc. in Industrial and Management Engineering 2008 from ArabAcademy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport, Alexandria, Egypt.
• He earned his B.Sc. in Electrical Communication and Electro-Physics 1996 fromElectrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering; Alexandria University.
• He has about 20 years of experience with background in oil & gas andpetrochemicals in multiple disciplines including automation maintenance andtechnical studies, quality improvement, and energy efficiency.
• He is certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
• He has written or co-authored some articles on multi-criteria decision making.
• He is qualified by UNIDO as Energy Management System & ISO 50001 Expert.
• EnMS is a systematic approach to improve energy performance by establishing an energy policy and specifying energy objectives along with providing the essential resources to achieve those objectives according to predetermined action plans.

• The implementation of EnMS has a great effect on enhancing the energy performance and lowering the green house gases (GHG) emission through basically no cost and low cost improvement projects
• EnMS became a very crucial issue especially in heavy industries like steel, oil and gas, and petrochemicals
• It is observed that there is a desire of many industrial companies in Egypt to have an EnMS to be implemented in their facilities and this is obviously the case of other countries of different categories.
10/30/2015Selection of Improvement Projects in EnMS
• To achieve specific objective, it is always accompanied by a list ofimprovement opportunities which is commonly implemented in aproject-base approach by cross-functional teams of differentdisciplines in the organization.
• Energy improvement projects are captured from ideas submitted byall stakeholders basically the employees to enhance the involvementof people and improvement culture.

• The EnMS international standard ISO 50001:2011 stated that for anyorganization to grant a certified EnMS, an energy review has to bedeveloped.
• Energy review is a main part of the planning process for EnMS wherethe data of energy performance for any organization are collected andanalyzed to identify the significant energy uses and then energyperformance improvement opportunities have to be identified andprioritized.
• The implementation of energy management system (EnMS) createsan additional need for decision support system in order to prioritizethe improvement opportunities for energy efficiency to select themost appropriate ones to be handled first to maximize the gain andminimize the risk.10/30/2015

Complex Decision Problem
• Multiple Criteria (Qualitative & Quantitative)
• Multiple Decision Makers
• Uncertainty• Incomplete Information
• Imprecise Data
• Vagueness surrounding the decision making

• The most appropriate model that captures the characteristics of the Linguistic variables is Fuzzy Numbers rather than Definite (Crisp) Numbers as used by Saaty
• Therefore, the Modified Scale Replacing the 9-point scale of Saaty could be given as Follow:

Value-Focused Thinking (VFT)Ralph L. Keeney (1994) stated that VFT is designed to focus the decision maker on the essential activities that must occur prior to solve a decision problem

• The proposed methodology is worth for the purpose of overcomingthe inaccuracy of FAHP when dealing with huge number ofalternatives and the uncertainty increasing when using otherweighting techniques with VFT.
• The new methodology is amenable for using in practice where self-explanatory method is required for practitioners and group decisionmaking that leading to consistent results.
• The Fuzzy Genetic Prioritization used to solve FAHP was used toovercome the drawbacks incurred when using the extent analysismethod of AHP where many multiplications and divisions of fuzzynumber may lead to inaccurate and sometimes irrational results.

1. Using linguistic pair-wise comparisons with value-focused thinking,for the first time.
2. Investigating the selection of Energy Management SystemImprovement projects and building a decision support tool capablefor dealing with that problem.

• For the given real case study, the weights of the objectives arecalculated based on 8 DM's judgements and 10 ideas are evaluatedand ranked according to their corresponding scores.
• In the stage of implementation and operation of EnMS, the newmethodology provides the flexibility of adding any new idea andcalculating a score for that new idea without incurring any rankreversal effect.
