Advances in Cone-Based Preference Modeling for Decision Making with Multiple Criteria
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Decision making with multiple criteria requires preferences elicited from the decision maker to determine a solution set. Models of preferences, that follow upon the concept of nondominated solutions introduced by Yu (1974), are presented and compared within a unified framework of cones. Polyhedral and nonpolyhedral, convex and nonconvex, translated, and variable cones are used to model different types of preferences. Common mathematical properties of the preferences are discussed. The impact of using these preferences in decision making is emphasized.

Optimizing Modular Machining Line Design Problem with Mixed Activation Mode of Machining Units
A modular transfer line designing problem is investigated. The problem is to find the best subset of modules (machining units) from a given set and to assign them to different stations so that technological constraints a...
A Bi-Objective Portfolio Optimization with Conditional Value-at-Risk
This paper presents a bi-objective portfolio model with the expected return as a performance measure and the expected worst-case return as a risk measure. The problems are formulated as a bi-objective linear program. Num...
The Effect of Environmental Criteria on Locating a Biorefinery: A Green Facility Location Problem
Underestimating facility location decisions may penalize business performance over the time. Those penalties usually have been studied from the economic point of view analyzing its impact on profitability. Additionally,...
Balancing Bilinearly Interfering Elements
Many decisions in various fields of application have to take into account the joined effects of two elements that can interfere with each other. This happens for example in Medicine (synergic or antagonistic drugs ), in...
Risks and implications for decision making processes associated with existing design codes or their non-existence
Buckling phenomenon is a perplexing and unresolved issue in many safety critical structures, and it has been heavily regulated. The paper highlights the risks to decision making processes due to growing tendencies of eli...
