Multicriteria evaluation of designing transportation system within distribution sub-systems
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the problem of designing transportation system for goods distribution with usage of multicriteria decision supporting method. The general characteristic of transportation system as an element of distribution system was presented. Moreover, the distribution system was identified as a one of the most important elements of supply chain which aims in making products available in place and time matching client needs. In further part the problem was mathematically formalized to optimization task. Analyzing the problems of modeling conveying system forces claim that decisions taken within area of transport organization consist in solving complex decision problems. Complexity follows from the demand of best decision according to many aspects. Solution must ensure othe best realization of all partial criteria (aims) taken into account during decision making process. The article contains characteristics of methods of multicriteria evaluation with regard to short literature review. The emphasis was placed on ELEKTRA and MAJA methods which can be applied in the evaluation of complex decision problems in transportation systems. The last part of the article is verifies of presented issues by tneans of numerical experiment.
