A Decision Support System for Resource Allocation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper concerns the design of decision support systems (DSSs) which help financial managers in evaluating proposals for strategic and long-range planning. With the proposed two-phased DSS, projects are first selected from a given pool according to greedy heuristics based on the project’s preferences as well as the project’s efficiency. Then, integer programming with an approximation algorithm is used in the second phase to re-evaluate those proposed projects which met the first phase criteria. Key-Words: Decision Support System, Resource Allocation, Analytic Hierarchy Process, Project Preference

متن کاملAn Algorithm for Resource Allocation through the Classification of DMUs
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for assessing relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). Every single decision-maker with the use of inputs produces outputs. These decision-making units will be defined by the production possibility set. Resource allocation to DMUs is one of the concerns of managers since managers can employ the results of this process to a...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...

متن کاملHuman-Automation Collaboration in Complex Multivariate Resource Allocation Decision Support Systems
In resource allocation problems for systems with moving planning horizons and significant uncertainty, typical of supervisory control environments, it is critical that some balance of human-automation collaboration be achieved. These systems typically require leveraging the computational power of automation, as well as the experience and judgment of human decision makers. Human-automation colla...
