About

Varun Chodha is a distinguished researcher in industrial engineering and manufacturing systems, with a primary focus on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and robotic automation. His most influential work, "Selection of industrial arc welding robot with TOPSIS and Entropy MCDM techniques" (2021), has garnered over 200 citations, establishing him as a key contributor to the field of intelligent manufacturing. In this seminal paper, Chodha pioneered the integration of entropy-weighted TOPSIS methodology for optimizing robot selection in arc welding processes, providing a robust framework that balances technical performance, cost efficiency, and operational reliability. His research addresses critical challenges in Industry 4.0, particularly in automating complex decision-making for manufacturing equipment. Beyond this flagship study, Chodha has advanced the application of MCDM tools in supply chain management and production planning, earning recognition for bridging theoretical decision models with practical industrial implementations. His work is widely cited by engineers and academics developing smart factory solutions, and he has been invited to speak at international conferences on sustainable manufacturing. Chodha’s contributions continue to shape how industries evaluate and deploy robotic systems, making him a leading voice in the evolution of data-driven manufacturing.
