ABSTRACT Supported by a network of researchers and practitioners, the goal programming (GP) model is alive today more than ever continually fed with theoretical developments new applications resounding success. The standard formulation GP was introduced in earliest 1960s, since then, important extensions numerous have been proposed. One these variants stochastic that deals uncertainty some decision‐making situations using calculus. In such situation, decision maker not able to assess...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to highlight the role Decision Support System within field multi‐criteria decision aid (MCDA). MCDA tools have been incorporated into systems create Multi‐Criteria Systems (MCDSSs). In our literature review, we noticed that more than 100 papers written over a 20‐year period in which MCDSS was used as decision‐making tool. present describes some real applications different fields, harmoniously combined with methods such analytic hierarchy process, Utility...

Abstract The standard Goal Programming (GP) model considers the aspiration levels (goals) as precise and deterministic. However, in practice, there are many decision‐making situations where decision‐maker is not able to establish goal values precisely. goals fuzziness more related nature of objectives involved situation. Fuzzy (FGP) Model has been developed earliest 80s deal with such situations. concept membership functions, based on fuzzy sets theory, used for modelling GP. aim this paper...

Abstract Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer‐oriented design tool for developing new or improved products to achieve higher customer satisfaction by integrating various functions of an organization. The engineering characteristics (ECs) affecting the product performances are designed match attributes (CAs). However, from viewpoint QFD team, processes performed in imprecise environments, and more than one factor must be taken into account determining target levels ECs, especially...

The aim of this paper is to apply Goal Programming select a site for Fire and Emergency Service station in Sfax region Tunisia. decision making process involves incommensurable conflicting objectives including proximity industrial firms response time. concept satisfaction function utilized explicitly introduce the Decision-Maker's preferences decision-making process.

AbstractAbstractThe Multi-Attribute portfolio selection problem involves the choice of a set stocks (assets, securities) based on incommensurable and conflicting objectives such as return, risk liquidity. These cannot be optimized simultaneously. Thus, Financial Decision Maker has to make some compromises between in order obtain most satisfactory with specified amount money invest. Various approaches have been proposed for as: stochastic dominance models, multi-attribute utility...

The aim of this paper is to highlight the motivations, benefits and barriers ISO 9000 certification in Tunisia. study focuses on Tunisian certified companies. From our research, we conclude that companies are more driven seek by external circumstances such as suppliers' relationships improvement market shares increase. Furthermore, implementation results mostly increase internal reducing conflicts, increasing motivation communication among employees. findings also outline firms hindered...

The Venture Capital decision making process involves several conflicting and imprecise criteria. to invest is a difficult one with serious adverse selection risk surrounded uncertainty. aim of this paper propose cardinality constrained Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) model deal such complex scenario. A FGP does not require any assumptions on the probability distribution, better fitting characteristics market. developed illustrated through numerical example which uses data taken from an Italian...
