Purpose: This paper discusses the issues of employee’s empowerment, their training needs, suggestions and other issues related to it. Total quality management (TQM) is a management technique adopted by the most manufacturing organizations. TQM in general is viewed as organization set up which will help to manufacture products at lowest cost by the following various management techniques through...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

Advances in technology have over the last two decades supported the development of virtual teams, constituted of geographically distributed members collaborating through technology. Virtual teams are formed to perform complex tasks, and successful decision-making is crucial for their performance. Despite the popularity of virtual teams, little is known about the nature of decision-making in the...

Decision making is one of the most complex administrative processes in management. In circumstances where the members of the decision making team are uncertain in determining and defining the decision making criteria, fuzzy theory provides a proper tool to encounter with such uncertainties. However, if decision makers cannot reach an agreement on the method of defining linguistic variables base...

A. Objectives In this paper, we extend our three-phase organizational design process ([2], [3]), which hypothesizes that congruence between missions and organizations leads to superior organizational performance, to include mission monitoring and dynamic re-planning in order to maintain a desired level of congruence. The dynamic mission monitoring facilitates situation awareness at the team lev...

To ensure that the best decisions are made for children and adolescents, these decisions should be made jointly by members of the health care team, the child or adolescent’s parents, and sometimes the child or ado­ lescent. Children and adolescents should be involved in decision-making to an increasing degree as they de­ velop, until they are capable of making their own deci­ sions about treatm...

This paper describes FCFoo, a RoboCup team developed at Linköping Institute of Technology. We use a reactive-deliberate architecture composed of four different layers. The layers represent different levels of abstraction and deliberation. The decision-making is based on decision-trees, finite automatas, and roles. As a result of the team development we have created a C++ library, designed for e...
