댐군 운영 문제는 여러 상충되는 목적 및 구성 요소들 간의 타협, 조정을 위한 다목적 특성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 댐군 연계 운영 문제에 대해 다기준 의사결정 기법을 적용하여 최선의 운영 계획을 수립하는 것이다. 이를 위해 순위선호(outranking) 관계와 유사기준(pseudo-criteria)을 기반으로 해서 여러 선호 대안을 선정하는 데 유용한 ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choice Translating REality)를 적용하고자 한다. ELECTRE IS는 주어진 후보 대안들 중에서 원하는 수의 대안을 선정하는 데 유용하다. 그러나 기존의 ELECTRE IS는 대안선정 과정에서 의사결정자에게 기준들의 가중치(weight), 유사기준판정 경계치(pseudo-criteria thresholds), 그리고 일치판정 기준비율(concordance level)의 매개변수에 대한 설정을 요구하고 이들의 설정 상태에 따라 도출되는 대안의 수가 달라질 수 있는 성질을 갖고 있다. 특히 일치판정 기준비율은 ELECTRE IS의 최종적인 순위선호 관계의 형성여부에 결정적 영향을 주어 매개변수의 아주 작은 변화에도 선정되는 대안의 수가 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 실제 ELECTRE IS를 적용하여 원하는 수의 대안을 선정하기 위해서는 일치판정 기준비율에 대한 반복적용이 불가피하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CoMOM (Coordinated Multireservoir Operating Model)을 활용한 댐군 연계운영 시 제시되는 파레토 최적해 집합(Pareto set)중에서 최선의 파레토 최적해를 선정할 때 ELECTRE IS의 수학적 구현 모형을 활용할 것을 제안하고 그 방법론을 제시한다. 제안된 모형은 혼합정수계획모형으로서 ELECTRE IS를 적용하는 과정에서 일치판정 기준비율을 자동으로 도출하고, 궁극적으로 많은 반복 없이 원하는 수나 그에 근사한 수의 선호대안(핵심대안)을 도출할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이 모형을 낙동강 수계의 댐군 연계운영 문제에 적용해 보고, 핵심대안을 효율적으로 도출할 수 있음을 보인다.

ELEECTRE is a less demanding and potentially Bffective multiattribute evaluation method for pre-editing proeedure. The method, however, was developed based on probabilistic mathematicsand its reliability has never'been emprieally tested. This article examined the reliability of ELECTRo under various conditions of linear and non-linear utility func- tions using a Monte-Carlo shnulation, and found the method eausea a considerably high rate of error. To enhance the reliability of ELECTRE, two ways of modi(ication - adjust- ment of threshold values of concordance and discordance matrices, and adjustment of the required nunlber of probably-dominant alternatives to eliminate a probably-dominated alternative - were suggested, and their effctiveness was also tesed by a Monte-Carlo simulation. The simulation result chows that these modifications cponsiderably improve the reliability of ELECTRE, and yet maintain a reasonably high level of efficiency. Through these modifications, ELECTRE can be used as an efficient and feliable pre-editing method. Ways to implement ELECTRE in the construction of plainning decision support systens were discussed. The impli(els combination of this method and other multiattribute evaluation methods will help to create more effective decision suport systems.

ELECTRE IS requires the decision maker (DM) to specify several parameters such as weights, pseudo-criteria thresholds and the concordance level. Among these parameters, the concordance level has a significant effect on the outranking relation. And the number of alternatives selected may be sensitive to the value of these parameters. Therefore the DM may have to perform many iterations to obtain the desired number of alternatives in the kernel set. In this study, we developed a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model to elicit the concordance level and thereby to choose the desired number of alternatives in the kernel set. The MIP model can be applied in the interactive process so that the pseudo-criteria thresholds are adjusted according to the results of MIP model. Using the MIP model in the interactive process, we can reduce the number of iterations needed to perform ELECTRE IS.

In those day, Incheon and Busan local government are arguing about establishment of a maritime court. This study aims to develop a model that evaluates the priority orders for the establishment of maritime courts using maritime casualties counts based on the integrated ELECTRE-CRITIC-ISM technique, as well as to verify its usefulness in the establishment of maritime courts in Korea. For this purpose, a total of 22 ports, excluding nine ports where maritime accident data were integrated and managed among the 31 international trade ports, were matched with the jurisdiction of six alternative high courts. Second, the CRITIC method was used to calculate the weights of the number of maritime casualties during a 5-year period that were evaluation factors and combine with the ELECTRE method. Finally, the ELECTRE&ISM method was used to analyze the concordance and discordance between high courts and evaluate the priority orders considering the fluctuations of maritime casualties counts. As the final evaluation result considering the mean values in fluctuations of maritime casualties counts, the Busan High Court ranked first, the Gwangju high court second, the Seoul high court third, the Daejeon and the Daegu high court forth (equal), and the Suwon high court sith. Therefore, it is necessary to preferentially establish a maritime court in the jurisdiction of the Busan High Court.

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a widely used engineering tool in the fields of the design of a product or a process to improve its quality or performance by prioritizing potential failure modes in terms of three risk factors-severity, occurrence, and detection. In a classical FMEA, the risk priority number is obtained by multiplying the three values in 10 score scales which are evaluated for the three risk factors. However, the drawbacks of the classical FMEA have been mentioned by many previous researchers. As a way to overcome these difficulties, this paper suggests the ELECTRE III that is a representative technique among outranking models. Furthermore, fuzzy linguistic variables are included to deal with ambiguous and imperfect evaluation process. In addition, when the importances for the three risk factors are obtained, the entropy method is applied. The numerical example which was previously studied by Kutlu and Ekmekio$\breve{g}$lu(2012), who suggested the fuzzy TOPSIS method along with fuzzy AHP, is also adopted so as to be compared with the results of their research. Finally, after comparing the results of this study with that of Kutlu and Ekmekio$\breve{g}$lu(2012), further possible researches are mentioned.

When existing parts are re-used for the development of a new product or business-to-business transactions, a method for searching parts from a part database that meets user's requirements is necessary. To this end, it is important to develop a part search method which is able to measure similarity between parts and user's input data with generality as well as robustness. In this paper, the authors suggest a method for measuring part similarity using ontology and multi-criteria decision making method and address its technical details. The proposed method ensures the interoperability with existing engineering information management systems, represents part specifications systematically, and has generality in the procedure for comparing part specifications. The case study for ejector pins having been conducted to demonstrate the proposed method is also discussed.

In this study, we evaluate financial performance of 21 domestic life insurers using SAW (simple additive weighting), ELECTREII, cluster analysis respectively, and suggest a hybrid approach of combining cluster analysis and ELECTREII to reclassify the life insurers into more meaningful groups according to their respective financial features. We also perform the sensitivity analysis employing ANOVA and Tukey's test to examine the robustness of ELECTREII, which would be influenced by decision maker's subjective preference parameters. Consequently, it is shown that ELECTREII turns out to be a flexible method providing decision makers with useful ranking Information especially under fuzzy decision making situation with incomparable alternatives, and hence it can serve as a complementary method to overcome the weakness of classical cluster analysis.

Energy is a major component of almost all economic, production, and service activities, and rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have led to ever growing demand for energy. Limited energy resources and increasingly evident environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption has led to a growing awareness about the importance of further use of renewable energy sources in the countries energy portfolio. Renewable hydrogen production is a convenient method for storage of unstable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for use in other place or time. In this study, suitability of 25 cities located in Iran's western region for renewable hydrogen production are evaluated by multi-criteria decision making techniques including TOPSIS, VIKOR, ELECTRE, SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, and also hybrid ranking techniques. The choice of suitable location for the centralized renewable hydrogen production is associated with various technical, economic, social, geographic, and political criteria. This paper describes the criteria affecting the hydrogen production potential in the study region. Determined criteria are weighted with Shannon entropy method, and Angstrom model and wind power model are used to estimate respectively the solar and wind energy production potential in each city and each month. Assuming the use of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production, the renewable hydrogen production potential of each city is then estimated based on the obtained wind and solar energy generation potentials. The rankings obtained with MCDMs show that Kermanshah is the best option for renewable hydrogen production, and evaluation of renewable hydrogen production capacities show that Gilangharb has the highest capacity among the studied cities.
