In the paper a new approach to goal programming is presented: the robust approach, applied so far to a single-objective linear programming. It is a ”pessimistic” approach, meant to find a solution which will be reasonably good even in a bad case, but it is based on the assumption that almost never everything goes bad the decision maker can control and simulate the pessimistic aspect of the deci...

The concept of meta-goal programming is developed and linked to an interactive framework. An algorithm is proposed, in which the decision maker can establish target values on several achievement functions and use an interactive procedure to update these values. This substantially alleviates the problems associated with assigning to each attribute a target value, in order to build the goals, as ...

Paper presented at the 7th meeting of the EURO-working group "Aide a la decision multicritere" in York, april 1978.

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

this research proposes a methodology for ranking decision making units byusing a goal programming model.we suggest a two phases procedure. in phase1, by using some dea problems for each pair of units, we construct a pairwisecomparison matrix. then this matrix is utilized to rank the units via the goalprogramming model.

In this study, an outsourcer evaluation and management system is developed for a manufacturing company by use of Fuzzy goal programming (FGP). A first phase of the methodology evaluation criteria for outsources and the objectives of the company are determined. Considering the fuzziness in the decision data, linguistic variables that can be expressed in generalized fuzzy number are used. The pro...
