Long-term multi-criteria improvement planning

This paper proposes a novel framework to support the generation of strategies for multi-criteria long-term improvement. It can be applied general preference models but it is illustrated in this article on Multi-Attribute Value Theory model. The contributions literature are twofold. Firstly, addresses issue resistance change that may arise during implementation strategy. constrains step improvement focused single criterion, and minimizes intensity operational changes. Secondly, realism scenarios by treating three types structural dependencies differently: positive synergies, negative synergies bottlenecks. generated finding set efficient solutions shortest path problem graph whose edges represent possible steps Each edge characterized an increase rank or level two penalty functions relating difficulty its execution, one representing risk associated bottleneck mechanisms other relative previous edge. A case-study using Shanghai Academic Ranking World Universities presented order illustrate how could useful generate sequence strategic actions Université libre de Bruxelles.
