Post-Covid-19 maritime transport risks management using an AMDEC-AHP combined strategy: A Tunisian case study

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we focus on the management of risks in the maritime transport sector after the spread of the pandemic Covid-19. We propose an integrated strategy to determine the best action decision to manage the most important risks. This strategy is based on two stages the first stage consists on detecting the most serious risks using the AMDEC method and proposing a set of corrective actions for each of these risks;the second stage is responsible to determine the most appropriate action about the set of proposed alternatives using the AHP multi-criteria decision-making approach. Finally, to validate the proposed strategy, real data are collected from a Tunisian maritime transport company and the obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed integrated method. © 2022 IEEE.
