This paper presents a multicriteria analysis approach for evaluating knowledge management (KM) effectiveness in the university’s administration. A framework is presented for identifying important properties to be considered in the KM evaluation process. A fuzzy multicriteria analysis algorithm is developed for evaluating KM effectiveness in the university’s administration. As a result, the KM e...

In this work, multicriteria decision making objective for flow shop scheduling with sequence dependent set up time and due dates have been developed. Multicriteria decision making objective includes total tardiness, total earliness and makespan simultaneously which is very effective decision making for scheduling jobs in modern manufacturing environment. As problem of flow shop scheduling is NP...

The purpose of the present study is the development of classification models that could be used in the identification of acquirers and targets in the Asian banking sector. We use a sample of 52 targets and 47 acquirers that were involved in acquisitions in 9 Asian banking markets during 1998-2004 and match them by country and time with an equal number of non-involved banks. The models are devel...

Applying evolutionary computation (EC) to multicriteria decision making addresses two diicult problems: (1) searching intractably large and complex spaces and (2) deciding among multiple objectives. Both of these problems are open areas of research, but relatively little work has been done on the COMBINED problem of searching large spaces to meet multiple objectives. While multicriteria decisio...

In the field of multicriteria decision aid, considerable attention has been paid to supervised classification problems, especially to so-called sorting problems, where an order is assumed on the predefined classes. Recently, some non-supervised multicriteria classification procedures, also known as multicriteria clustering procedures, have been proposed aiming to discover data structures from a...

Choquet integral has proved to be an effective aggregation model in multiple criteria decision analysis when interactions between criteria have to be taken into consideration. Recently, some generalizations of Choquet integral have been proposed to take into account more complex forms of interaction. This is the case of the bipolar Choquet integral and of the level dependent Choquet integral. T...

It is very important to identify, preserve, and transfer knowledge to those who need it within firm. However, the identification of knowledge and especially tacit knowledge is a complex process because knowledge cannot be measured quantitatively. In this paper we present an approach for inducing a set of collective decision rules representing a generalized description of the preferential inform...

This digest summarizes NCHRP Project 20-29(2), “Development of a Computer Model for Multimodal, Multicriteria Transportation Investment Analysis.” The Transportation Decision Analysis Software, or TransDec, was developed to provide the transportation practitioner with an easy-to-use tool for performing multimodal, multicriteria investment analysis. This digest is based on a draft final report p...

With the complexity and amount of information in a wide variety of comparative performance reports in poultry production, making a decision is difficult. This problem is overcomed only when all data can be put into a common unit. For this purpose, five different decision making analysis approaches including  Maximin, Equally likely, Weighted average, Ordered weighted averages and Technique for ...
