one of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. in this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. the purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...

This paper presents a Taylor series approach for solving linear fractional de-centralized bi-level multi-objective decision-making (LFDBL-MODM) problems with asingle decision maker at the upper level and multiple decision makers at the lower level.In the proposed approach, the membership functions associated with each objective(s) ofthe level(s) of LFDBL-MODM are transformed by using a Taylor s...

A multiple-objective decision support system (MODSS) may have several multiple objective decision making (MODM) methods in its method base. As some methods are more suitable than others for some decision cases or for some decision makers, a guide system is very useful to help users systematically towards the selection of their most appropriate methods. This paper presents an intelligent guide s...

This paper describes a project that extends the multiple objective decision support system (MODSS) by offering knowledge-based guidance to an intelligent multiple objective decision support system (IMODSS). This IMODSS integrates expert system (ES), multiple objective decision-making (MODM) methodologies, graphical user interface (GUI) and decision support systems (DSS) technologies. This IMODS...

Decision Support Systems under Multiple Objectives (MODSS) has been classified as a specific type of system within the broad family of DSS and has been one of the most active areas of research. However, despite its theoretical development large scale real-world applications of multi-objective decision making (MODM) methods had been seriously lacking due to the technical knowledge and expertise ...

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

Control charts are widely implemented in firms to establish and maintain statistical control of a process which leads to the improved quality and productivity. Design of control charts requires that the engineer selects a sample size, a sampling frequency and the control limits for the chart. In this paper, a possible combination of design parameters is considered as a decision making unit whic...

This paper presents a Taylor series approach for solving linear fractional decentralized bi-level multi-objective decision-making (LFDBL-MODM) problems with a single decision maker at the upper level and multiple decision makers at the lower level. In the proposed approach, the membership functions associated with each objective(s) of the level(s) of LFDBL-MODM are transformed to a linear form ...

The performance of a product is often evaluated by several quality characteristics.  ptimizing the manufacturing process with respect to only one quality characteristic will not always lead to the optimum values for other characteristics. Hence, it would be desirable to improve the overall quality of a product by improving quality characteristics, which are considered to be important. The probl...
