Recently, multiple criteria decision making has been well established as a practical approach to seek a satisfactory solution to a decision making problem. Goal programming is one of the most powerful MCDM tools with satisfying operational assumptions that reflect the actual decision making process in real-world situations. In this paper we propose an efficient method implemented on a microcomputer for solving linear goal programming problems. It is an iterative revised goal simplex method using the sparsity technique. We design as interactive software package for microcomputers based on this method. From some computational experiences, we can state that the revised iterative goal simplex method using the sparsity technique is the most efficient one for microcomputer for solving goal programming problems.

Purpose - Nowadays, the innovative design concept is being implemented in product design. In order to satisfy market trends and the demand for quality, designers should employ customer satisfaction questionnaires and analyze them with various experimental processes. Research design, data, and methodology - These methodologies would help designers have a better understanding of their customers and judge the market size and clustering validity, by diverse product strategies, for dealing with the rapid change prevailing in the market today. Results - By considering the innovative design with regard to telephones as an experimental case, the study investigates and demonstrates how the product can benefit from market-oriented and customized management concepts, when creative design ability is utilized for developing the product. Conclusions - Along with the benefit of having an innovative product value, the product can stimulate progress inthe development of the enterprise management, which has emerged as the main issue in the area of social and economic development in every developed country.

This paper is aimed to present a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with disaster recovery priority decision problem in information system. We derive an evaluation approach based on TOPSIS(Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution), to help disaster recovery priority decision of total information system for port logistics in a fuzzy environment where the vagueness and subjectivity are handled with linguistic terms parameterized by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. This study applies the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method to determine the importance weight of evaluation criteria and to synthesize the ratings of candidate disaster recovery system. Aggregated the evaluators' attitude toward preference, then TOPSIS is employed to obtain a crisp overall performance value for each alternative to make a final decision. This approach is demonstrated with a real case study involving 4 evaluation criteria(system dependence, RTO, loss, alternative business support), 7 information systems for port logistics assessed by 5 evaluators from Maritime Affairs and Port Office.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for selecting the preferred alternatives of Multiple- Attribute Decision-Making(MADM) problem using the Entropy measure. A decision-maker who wants to estimate exactly the weight to be applied to her/his MADM problem is usually confronted with the embarrassing situation where, although there exist a variety of weighting methods, it is hard to find a right procedure to choose a pertinent value To remedy this uncomfortable situation, the Entropy measure commonly used in information theory, Is proposed as a tool that can be used by decision-makers to more efficiently select the preferred alternatives. As a result, the method proposed in the paper can be significant in that relatively easy to understand by decision-makers.

Waste materials in concrete have been considered as one of the most important issues by the authorities, policy makers and researchers to maintain engineering serviceability in terms of economy, durability and sustainability. Therefore, evaluation and selection of waste materials with respect to multi criteria decision making (MCDM) for the construction industry has been gained importance for recovery and reuse. In this paper, Choquet integral based fuzzy approach is proposed for evaluating the most suitable waste materials with respect to compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, compactness, toughness (resistivity for dynamic loads), water absorption and accessibility. On conclusion, waste tyre and silica fume were determined as the most suitable waste materials for concrete production. The obtained results are recommended to assist the authorities on configuring well designed strategies for construction industry with disposal materials.

In the microcell-or picocell-based system the frequent movements of mobiles bring about excessive traffics into the networks. A mobile location estimation mechanism can facilitate both efficient resource allocation and better QoS provisioning through handoff optimization. Existing location estimation schemes consider only LOS model and have poor performance in presence of multi-path and shadowing. In this paper we study novel schemes which can increase estimation accuracy by considering NLOS environment and other multiple decision parameters than the received signal strength.

The problems of evaluating Telecommunication Management Network Operation Systems (TMNOS) are Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems. A method for evaluating the TMNOS has not yet been clearly defined. A study of an effective and efficient management methodology for TMNOS, which are heterogeneous and complex, is needed. The components of TMNOS have attributes of dependence between considered criteria or alternatives. This type of dependence impact between criteria or alternatives is a network structure. We suggest a methodology of Analytic Delphi Network Process (ADNP) for evaluating TMONS. The TMNOS problem of Korea Telecom (KT) is suggested as a case study of the ADNP.

지금까지의 교통사업 평가 및 대안선정을 위한 평가 방법은 주고 경제성 평가에 치중하여 왔다. 또한 정부 및 공급자 외에 지역주민이나 이용자 등의 의견은 공청회등을 통한 의견 수렴을 제의하고는 계획 및 평가단계에서의 참여는 제도적으로 없는 실정이다. 이에 따라 적지 않은 수의 교통계획 및 대안 선정 사업들이 제반 평가요인에 대한 불충분한 고려와 또한 지역주민들의 반대에 부딪혀 취소 또는 재고되고 있다. 따라서 교통 계획 및 평가 단계에서의 관련 의사결정자의 제도적 참여를 가능케 하고 사업과 관련된 제반 평가 요인을 평가틀 내에서 고려할 수 있는 다 판단 기준분석 평가방법 (Multiple Criteria Decision Making Methods: MCDM)이 대두, 요구되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 제 방법 중 순위 선정 및 제반 평가요인의 고려에 장점을 가지고 있는 계층 분석법을 이용하여 교통사업의 대안선정에 있어 최적노선을 평가 선정하고자 한다. 본 사례를 통하여 다판단 기준 분석 평가방법의 도입 필요성 및 교통사업평가에의 유용성 및 적용성을 제시하고자한다.

In general, reliability of AHP depends on pairwise comparison of evaluators. In addition, human judgment on the importance of alternatives or criteria is always imprecise and vague. The Fuzzy AHP technique is suggested and used widely recently. In this paper, we prioritize future energy technology development for well focused R&D. We selected 3 criteria and 10 sub-criteria. According to the result in this study, the most important sub-criterion is the precedence over other competitive technology, the second is the possibility for fundamental technology acquisition, and the third is the improvement energy efficiency. The other side, the lowest important sub-criterion is the technology level compared with advanced countries.

This paper demonstrates the application of a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Zero-One Goal Programming model for selecting interdependent information system project selection, there are a few research for interdependent IS project selection. Effective project evaluation necessities incorporating the many conflicting objectives of decision maker(s) into decision models. Among the many proposed methodologies of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), Goal Programming (GP) is the most popular and widely used. The model departs from an earlier GP formulation of the problem that suggested QFD method for selection of priorities among the considered attributes or criteria. The application of the proposed methodology illustrated through an example.
