Logistic Simulation - A Credible Tool for Decision Makers?

Introduction to Multi-Agent Simulation for Analysts and Decision Makers

When designing systems that are complex, dynamic and stochastic in nature, simulation is generally recognised as one of the best design support technologies, and a valuable aid in the strategic and tactical decision making process. A simulation model consists of a set of rules that define how a system changes over time, given its current state. Unlike analytical models, a simulation model is no...

Vehicle Interior Vibration Simulation-a Tool for Engine Mount Optimization

By new advancements in vehicle manufacturing vehicle quality evaluation and assurance has become a more critical issue. In present work, the vibration transfer path analysis and vibration path ranking of a car interior has been performed. The method is similar to classical multilevel TPA methods but has distinct differences. The method is named VIVS which stands for Vehicle Interior Vibratio...

A hybrid decision making system using DEA and fuzzy models for supplier selection in the presence of multiple decision makers

Interval-Valued Hesitant Fuzzy Method based on Group Decision Analysis for Estimating Weights of Decision Makers

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

The ADDIE for ACTIONS Model Matrix: A Tool for Decision-Makers in Distance Education

Distance education, which may once have been thought of as insignificant to the survival of an academic institution, can no longer be ignored as vital to an institution’s success and reputation, and possibly even its existence in the new millennium. The student market which was once reserved for traditional institutions is now being preyed upon by competition from both public and private non-tr...
