Multiobjective Decision Support in Development Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
Planning essentially involves decision making of some kind either by a single or a group of decision makers (planners). Quite often these decision making tasks are loaded with multiple conflicting objectives (goals, criteria etc). It becomes a formidable tasks for the planners to find a compromise solution in such circumstances. The techniques of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) become useful in such choice making situations. Coupled with user friendly and interactive softwares MCDM tools offer sophisticated and practical approaches to support the decision making activities of development planners. This paper reviews some applications of MCDM in development planning. It then presents a collection of MCDM based decision support tools and propose their applications in development planning area. Problems and, prospects of MCDM in development planning are also discussed.

In this article, we formulate two dual models Wolfe and Mond-Weir related to symmetric nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems. Furthermore, weak, strong and converse duality results are established under $K$-$G_f$-invexity assumptions. Nontrivial examples have also been depicted to illustrate the theorems obtained in the paper. Results established in this paper unify...

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
