The Apidessys Multicriteria Analysis Decision Support System: a Tool for Financial Evaluation & Ranking of Greek Beekeeping Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a decision support system that has been designed and developed to evaluate and rank the financial profile of the main Apicultural Cooperatives and/or Union Cooperatives (A.U.C.) and Apicultural Enterprises (A.P.E.) of the Greek beekeeping industry. This system, called APIDESSYS , applies a multicriteria analysis and utilises the basic financial ratios that express the Liquidity, Solvency, Efficiency and Profitability of each A.U.C. or A.P.E. Assigning different weights to the various financial ratios or categories of ratios produced several scenarios. The system was designed to be rule-based and it consists of facts, rules and object-frames and it uses an inference engine, which is a combination of backward chaining and forward. The testing of the system proves that it could be used to estimate the overall annual progress of the Greek beekeeping industry.
