using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...

Title of thesis: TWO APPLICATIONS INVOLVING THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS Brian David Alford, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis directed by: Professor Bruce Golden Department of Decision and Information Technologies The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular tool used in decision making for ranking alternatives based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this thesis, we investigate ...

In this paper we combine Real Options (ROs), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and zero-one Goal Programming (ZOGP) in an integrated decision analysis framework for valuing and prioritizing a portfolio of ICT infrastructure investments. It is the first time that ROs are integrated with AHP and ZOGP providing a single multi-objective multi-criteria model, called GROAHP. Finally, a case illustrati...

Using the results of previous studies of service quality attributes, "ve sets of quality measures are identi"ed. These indicators or measures, through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), are then accurately and consistently weighted. The priority weights are, in turn, incorporated in a goal-programming model to help select the `besta set of quality control instruments for customer data collec...

Architecting the distributed software applications is a complex design activity. The selection of a best design among number of design alternatives is an important activity. To satisfy various the stakeholders’ functional and non-functional requirements of a particular application, there is a need to take a number of decisions. This problem has become the multiple decision making problem. Analy...

Screening weapon-systems is a critical task in determining whether a systems development effort will be successful and eventually provide the increased war fighting capability the user had originally envisioned. Weapon system selection is a multi-criteria decision problem that must be accomplished within a constrained resource environment. Several alternatives must be considered and evaluated i...

The data envelopment analytical hierarchy process (DEAHP) is a type of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which used the concept of data envelopment analysis (DEA) for generating LW from the judgment matrices and aggregating them to be final weight (FW) in AHP. In general, the judgment scales in AHP is built based on decision maker. It is unrealistic to expect that the decision maker has c...

We deal with the problem of priority elicitation in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) on the basis of imprecise pair-wise comparison judgements on decision elements. We propose a minmax goal programming formulation to derive the AHP priorities in the case that the decision maker provides preference judgements in the form of interval numbers. By applying variable transformations we formulate ...

Generation expansion planning is a challenging problem due to its large-scale, long-term, non-linear, and discrete nature of generation unit size. Since the computation revolution, there are several emerging techniques proposed to solve large scale optimization problem. Many of these techniques have been reported to use in generation expansion planning. This paper will describe these emerging o...

Software Architecture has emerged as an important sub-discipline of software engineering. A key aspect of the design of any software is its architecture styles, i.e. components and connectors and their relationships. Selecting the best style is difficult because there are multiple factors such as project risk, corporate goals, limited availability of resources, etc. Therefore this study present...
