In this paper we deal with the logistics brokerage process in which a logistics agent intermediates between vehicle owners and shippers for matching empty vehicles and freights. Based on the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology, the proposed agent system matches the most preferred empty vehicle to the shipper and the most preferred freight to the vehicle owner. In the proposed agent system, an MCDM based sensitivity analysis is also used for supporting decision makers under negotiations. Among various MCDM methodologies, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized in this paper. Although AHP is one of the most popular MCDM methodologies, AHP needs a number of pair-wise comparisons for assessing alternatives and hence may give excessive decision making burden to the decision makers. In this paper, in order to reduce the decision making burden, a preference function based estimation method is proposed. We can expect that the MCDM based logistics brokerage agent can be used as an efficient and effective tool for e-logistics marketplaces on the internet.

Decision makers in the service industry must effectively cope with queuing problems, service capacity optimization, service efficiency and service quality problems. This study proposes a computer simulation-enabled MCDM framework that integrates computer simulation analysis, Taguchi method, expert opinion and multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) to assist decision makers in coping with decision problems. In this framework, Taguchi method is adopted to reduce the time required for the simulation experiment. Computer simulation analysis is adopted to obtain useful information for rapid decision-making without interrupting actual production. MCDM is used to select the optimal alternative. The illustrative result is extremely promising.

본 연구는 로버스트 우선순위 결정을 위한 퍼지 다기준 의사결정기법의 타당성을 수자원 계획수립 문제에 적용하여 제시하였다. 즉 일반적인 다기준 의사결정 기법인 가중합계법, 계층화분석과정, 수정계층화분석과정, TOPSIS 방법과 퍼지가중합계법, 퍼지계층화분석과정, 퍼지수정계층화분석과정, 퍼지 TOPSIS 방법을 사용하여 결과를 비교하였다. 이때 사용된 각 평가기준별 자료는 동일하게 표준화되었으며 각 가중치도 동일한 방법으로 결정되었다. 분석결과 다기준 의사결정방법에 따라 조금씩 다른 순위가 도출되었으나, 퍼지 다기준 의사결정기법을 사용할 경우 사업들의 순위 변동성이 퍼지를 사용하지 않을 때보다 크지 않아 보다 일관된 순위를 유도하였다. 따라서 사업의 우선순위를 결정하는 문제에서 자료와 가중치의 불확실성을 고려할 수 있는 퍼지 다기준 의사결정기법을 활용해서 방법의 변화로 인한 순위의 변동성을 최소화해서 로버스트 순위를 결정하는 것이 보다 효과적이다.

본 연구는 전산화된 제조관리 시스템의 운영을 위한 관련 소프트웨어의 합리적 선정을 목적으로 한다. 제조관리 시스템의 운용 소프트웨어는 구입비용이 대단히 크고 또한 공장 시스템의 환경에 적용 가능하여야 하기 때문에 자동화 제조관리 시스템의 운용 소프트웨어에 대한 합리적 선정이 생산성과 제조비용의 절감에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 다기준 의사결정모형을 이용한 제조관리 시스템의 운용을 위한 소프트웨어의 합리적 선정에 대한 방법을 제시하고 수치예제에 의해 타당성을 분석하였다.

환경보전 활동을 위한 노력도 교부금과 같은 예산의 지역간 배분에 있어 감안이 되어야 하는데 그렇지 못하고 있다. 개발활동만 기준하여 지원되고 있다. 본 연구의 주된 목적은 환경변수를 예산 배분정책에 반영할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고 이를 실제로 적용하는데 있다. 본 연구는 각 지역별 환경에 미치는 다양한 변수들을 고려하여, 지역간 환경 기여도의 평가방법론을 개발하고 검증하였다. 최대최소법, 최대최대법, 단순가중치법, 계층가중치법과 같은 네 가지 방법론을 적용하여, 대구시의 환경 기여도를 평가해 본 결과, 극단적 상황이 예상되지 않는 조건 하에서 단순가중치법과 계층가중치법을 우선해서 대구시 환경 기여도를 분석할 수 있었다. 이른 기준을 감안한 예산배분은 개발에 치중된 재정지원에서 환경적으로 건전한 지역개발을 유도하는데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

The process of selecting a repair material is a typical one of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. In this study Analytical Hierarch Process was applied to solve this MCDM problem. Many factors affecting a process to select an optimal repair material can be classified into quantitative and qualitative requirements and this study handled only quantitative items. Quantitative requirements in the optimal selection model for repair material were divided into two parts, namely, the required chemical performance and the required physical performance. The former is composed of alkali-resistance, chloride permeability and electrical resistivity. The latter is composed of compressive strength, tensile strength, adhesive strength, drying shrinkage, elasticity and thermal expansion. The result of the study shows that this method is the useful and rational engineering approach in the problem concerning the selection of one out of many candidate repair materials even if this study was limited to repair material only for chloride-deteriorated concrete.

Purpose: This study examines the market segmentation and strategy of PT INKA, a rolling stock manufacturer in Indonesia. Research design, data and methodology: The study used the MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision Making) method specifically the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The AHP method was applied to identify the target market. This method or approach considers the market attractiveness and competitive strength criteria with quantified parameters. Results: a) Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, New Zealand, and India emerge as the top five target markets; b) There is justification for rolling stock manufacturers to allocate their resources in winning the market share. Conclusion: The main challenge confronting the rolling stock manufacturer is limited resources to acquire a particular market share despite abundant opportunities in this sector. Despite the mastery of technology and long experience in the industry, selecting a target market with multiple criteria could be difficult for an emerging rolling stock manufacturer in South East Asia.

The effects of goal setting in the context of Multiple Criteria Making (MCDM) are classified into two types : internal and external. In the internal models, the impact of the changed goal is limited only to the other goals in MCDM model. By contrast, in the external models, the impact is limited to the factors not included in the MCDM model. In fact, most real world examples of goal setting have the nature of mixed models. To assist in the goal setting process, the framework named Goal Setting Support (GSS) is developed. The GSS helps decision-makers for mixed models to 1) make internal trade-offs in a way that guarantees non-dominancy after the trade-ofs, and 2) evaluate achieved goals systematically. The GSS can be used in creating Decision Support Systems that will allow interactive goal setting.

Location selection of distribution centers is a crucial task for logistics operators and key decision makers of an organization. This is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process which includes both quantitative and qualitative criteria. In order to propose an optimized location selection model, this research suggests a hierarchical group of evaluation criteria : 5 major criteria with 15 sub-criteria. The MCDM approach presented in this research, by integrating Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), tends to rectify the overall quality and uncertainty of the values of evaluation criteria. An example of a location selection case in Korea is illustrated in this study to show the effectiveness of this method.

Decision-making refers to identifying the best alternative among a set of alternatives. When a set of criteria are involved, the decision-making is called multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). In some cases, the involved criteria may be prioritized by the human decision-maker, which determines the importance degree for each criterion; hence, the decision-making becomes prioritized multi-criteria decision-making. The essence of prioritized MCDM is raking the different alternatives concerning the criteria and selecting best one(s) from the ranked list. This paper introduces a generic multi-level algorithm for ranking multiple alternatives in prioritized MCDM problems. The proposed algorithm is implemented by a decision support system for selecting the most critical short-road requests presented to the transportation ministry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The ranking results show that the proposed ranking algorithm achieves a good balance between the importance degrees determined by the human decision maker and the score value of the alternatives concerning the different criteria.
