Benefits Analysis - A Multi-purpose Assessment Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Benefits Analysis has evolved from roots in multi-criteria analysis, causal mapping and multi-methodology. It is a systematic method for formulating complex, multi-factor investment appraisal problems where non-financial benefits dominate the decision-makers value system. Such decision problems abound in military OR, particularly the management of equipment capability and research. Benefits Analysis connects qualitative and quantitative OR methods and facilitates rigorous multi-methodology. This paper describes the principles Benefits Analysis and discusses its application to a variety of real problems, including research management, capability management, balance of investment, business case development, and benefit quantification strategies.

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical factors in successful implementation of a lean healthcare system in a hospital. Despite the recent developments in lean hospitals, there is a long route to traverse in order to get close to the maturity stage of the leanness. We propose an approach in which the most important leanness criteria are determined and the leanness of a given hospital...
متن کاملAnt Colony Optimization for Multi-objective Digital Convergent Product Network
Convergent product is an assembly shape concept integrating functions and sub-functions to form a final product. To conceptualize the convergent product problem, a web-based network is considered in which a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes and each arc in the network is considered to be a link between two nodes. The aim is to find an optimal tree of functionali...
