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...

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...

strategic selection problem is a multi-criteria problem which includes conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. in order to select the most appropriate strategic alternative it is necessary to make tradeoffs between these criteria as well as taking into account the resource limitations which may exist. available methods neglect the distance concept which exists between the alternatives wei...

A zero-one goal programming (ZOGP) is an important technique for solving many real-world problems. This paper adopts the new approach to show how to program the ZOGP model to solving a decision / management problem. The decision model is developed as a binary goal programming model base on a case analysis. The overall objective is to design and evaluate a model for effective resource planning i...

Weapon system selection is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this study we use the Zero-One Goal Programming (ZOGP) approach and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to solve this problem. An interactive procedure is developed for this solution process. Under such a multi-criteria decision-making process, military user and experts’ judgment can be brought to select an appropriate sy...

S. G. Deshmukh Director, IIITM Gwalior, New Delhi, India [email protected] This article proposes a methodology for supply chain planning in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The proposed framework integrates the use of selected well-proven techniques such as quality function deployment (QFD), interpretive structural modeling (ISM), analytic network process (ANP), and zero one goal p...

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) provides economic, social end environmental requirements in material and service flows occurring between suppliers, manufacturers and customers. SSCM structure is considered as a prerequisite for a sustainable success. Thus designing an effective SCM structure provides competitive advantages for the companies. In order to achieve an effective design of...

Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is characterised by poor insight or underestimation of hemiplegia after brain injury. Recent explanations of AHP have used an established 'forward model', which proposes that normal motor awareness involves comparing the predicted and actual sensory consequences of movements. These accounts propose that AHP patients may be able to form representations of their i...
