A mixed model assembly line (MMAL) is a special type of production line where a variety of product models similar in product characteristics are assembled. Determining the model sequence is an important problem for the efficient use of MMALs. This paper considers interactive multiobjective decision making problems for MMAL sequencing. Evolution program is employed as an underlying framework. In this study, a way of approximating the linear utility function is first studied. To improve its search efficiency to the solution space preferred by a decision maker, some modifications of a standard evolution program are made: operating several subpopulations instead of a single population and merging two or more subpopulations to a single subpopulation, and using a Pareto pool. Extensive computational experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed approach. The computational results show that our approach is promising in solution quality.

플라스틱(수지)의 활용이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 사출성형의 중요성이 높아지고 있는 가운데, 사출성형시의 원가절감이 큰 관심사가 되어가고 있다. 원가절감의 일환으로 적절한 수지를 선정하는 일이 대두되는데, 사출성형의 재료로서 수지를 선정할 때는 성형후 사용환경에서 일정기능을 유지하도록 수지의 물성을 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 여러물성을 동시에 만족시켜야 하는 수지선정의 특수성을 감안하여 수지선정문제를 가치함수(Value Function)를 사용한 다목적 의사결정문제(Multi-Attribute Decision Problem)로 정형화하였다. 수지는 물성의 어느 범위에서는 수치의 작은차이가 중요하지만, 어느 범위에서는 크게 중요하지 않으므로 필요한 물성의 수준을 고려하여 선택을 하여야한다. 본 연구에서는 가치함수를 이용하여 이를 해결하도록 하였다. 가치함수는 Sigmoid함수를 사용하였고, 함수의 상수(parameter)를 조절하여 수지가 갖는 물성과 물성과의 관계를 평가하고 수지가 갖는 특성을 보다 정확하게 고려하여 수지선정이 되도록 하였다.

In this study, we have developed algorithms to find more effective solutions for compensatory decision-making problems in the case of the decision maker with fuzziness which can occur in a real world fuzzy environment. We have applied the algorithm to the problems related to the structural reform of the capital and the number of workers in the local industry. We have selected Taegu city for this study. In this study, we have determined the capital and the number of workers, satisfying maximum productivity and minimum air and water pollution under the constraints such as capital-labor ratio, the demand for land and water and the fluctuation of the capital and the number of workers. The determined capital and the number of workers could improve the competitive advantage of Taegu city and could be utilized as criteria for the compilation of the budget, determination of policy for supporting plan of companies, the forecast of number of workers and the training plan of workers.

MODM(multiobjective decision-making)problem is very complex system for the analysist and decision maker. Therefore, it requires suitable MODM method to solve multiobjective decision-making problem. This paper presents an interactive fuzzy decision making method for solving multiobjective nonlinear programming problems with fuzzy goals and $\alpha$-cut set of fuzzy numbers. In our interactive method, if the decision maker specifies the degree $\alpha$of the objective value and the imprecise goals, λ-mux problem is solved. To examplify the proposed method, an interactive computer programming written in FORTRAN and an illustrate numerical example along with computer outputs are presented.

A new interactive multiobjective decision making technique, which is called the fuzzy sequential proxy optimization technique, has been proposed. This technique is the revised version the sequential proxy optimization technique that the decision-maker's marginal rates of substitution is interpreted as type of L-R fuzzy numbers. It used to the square of normalized scalar product as the doptimalilry condition. However, this technique ignores the imprecise nature of a decision-maker's judgement of marginal rates of substitution. Also, it have a shortcoming that can be only applied over three objective functions. In this paper, considering the imprecise nature of a decision-maker's judgement, we presents an interactive fuzzy decision-making method on the basis of the decision-maker's MRS presented through the use of five types of membership functions including non-linear functions. FORTRAN programs that run in conversational mode are developed to implement man-machine interactive procedure.

도시계획정보는 토지의 사회경제적 이용 가능한 잠재성을 보여주는 반면에 지적정보는 주로 법적 측면에서 토지정보를 다루고 있다. 지적정보시스템은 지적분야의 고유한 데이터뿐만 아니라 많은 다양한 정보를 다른 정보시스템으로부터 제공받아 이를 이용, 고부가가치의 정보를 생산하거나 의사(정책)결정을 지원하는 다목적시스템으로 진화를 시도하고 있다. 이런 점에서 지적정보와 도시계획정보의 교환의 필요성이 높아지고 있지만 두 정보분야의 이질적 요소를 제거하지 않고는 정보공유가 불가능하다. 도시계획과 지적분야의 정보공유를 연구의 중심으로 하여 특히 지적분야의 구성요소를 토지계획분야에서 원하는 정보로 변환, 사용하는 점에 역점을 두었다.

최근 지구 온난화에 따른 이상기후 변화로 인해 게릴라성 집중호우와 같은 다양한 강우패턴이 발생되고 있으며 홍수기 저수지 유입량은 비록 동일 양의 강우가 발생한 경우라도 선행강우량, 무강우일수, 호우발생전 초기유입량 등과 같은 수문사상들로 인해 많은 차이가 발생되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신속함이 요하는 홍수기 저수지 운영시 신속한 의사결정을 돕기 위해 과거 홍수기댐 유입율과 유역 수문사상과의 관계를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한강수계내 다목적 댐인 소양강, 충주 및 횡성댐의 과거 호우사상을 대상으로 유역내 각종 수문사상들을 독립변수로 한 회귀분석을 실시하여 홍수 이벤트 발생전 유역상황을 토대로 예상되는 강우에 따른 예상 유출율을 산정한다. 과거 호우사상에 대한 유출율 산정은 직접유출과 기저유출을 분리한 후 직접유출이 종료되는 시점까지의 유출량과 강우량의 비로서 산정하였으며 직접유출과 기저유출 분리방법은 주파수 분리방법을 이용하고자 한다.

The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is regarded as a classical method of multiple attribute decision making (MADM), often used to solve various decision-making or selection problems. It is based on the concept that the chosen alternative should have the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution and the farthest distance from the negative ideal solution. The TOPSIS can be applied to a design process for carrying out multi-objective shape optimization wherein the best and worst alternatives are to be decided. In this paper, multi-objective shape optimization using the TOPSIS and Rational Bezier curve was applied to the funnel of a cathode-ray tube (CRT). In order to minimize the weight and first principal stress, a new multi-objective shape optimization methodology is proposed, wherein the relative-closeness coefficients of the TOPSIS are defined as the performance indices of a multi-objective function and evaluated by response surface models. This methodology enables the designer to decide on the best solution from a number of design specification groups by examining the various conflicts between the weight and the first principal stress.

The purpose of this study is to propose a methodology for operating variable speed limit (VSL) strategies in freeway work zones. A notable feature in this study is to incorporate a multi-criteria decision making process into deriving better VSL strategies. Decision criteria in this study include operational efficiency, safety, and environmental impacts. Travel speed, acceleration noise, and CO2 were used as performance measures for evaluating VSL strategies. A multi-criteria value function was developed through an analytical hierarchical process (AHP) for representing expert's knowledge. Then, a variety of VSL operations scenarios were investigated utilizing a microscopic traffic simulation suite, VISSIM. The proposed methodology would be useful in supporting more efficient, safer, and more environment-friendly traffic operations and control in freeway work zones.

This paper presents a R&D investment model for Information and telecommunications (I&T) technology, which can be used by group decision makers, using multiple objective linear programming (MOLP). The MOLP model involves the simultaneous maximization of three linear objective functions associated with three criteria, which are social, technological, and economic criterion. This model is different from the traditional one which only involves the maximization of economic criterion. The presented problem in this model can be formulated as a problem of optimizing a linear function over an efficient set of MOLP. Its application to the National R&D Project in I&T Industry is also presented. In this application, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed to estimate the weights, which are used as the coefficients in each objective function of the MOLP model and in a linear decision function. By solving this problem, it yields a suitable R&D investment ratio to each technology field. It is showed that the MOLP model can be useful decision aid in formulating R&D investment plan in I&T industry which needs to be decided by group decision makers, not by an individual. It is expected that the MOLP model works as the basis for planning R&D investment strategy in I&T industry.
