0 b jectives
To introduce the decision making methodology and
techniques available. To emphasise the need for formal
approaches and the gain of structured, formal decisions. To
examine several areas in manufacturing environments where
crucial decisions benefit from the use of these methods.
Content
Introduction to the DM methodology is followed by details
of techniques. Single criteria decisions cost consideration in
decisions (cash flow). Effect of uncertainty, meaning of
probability, encoding probability distributions. Tree
structure of problems (a computer package will be used).
Decision/outcomes under uncertainty. Risk attitudes, utility
functions. Approaching real world problems, a cyclical
approach, strategy tables, influence diagrams. Sensitivity
analysis. Obtaining information from tree analysis. Value of
information control. Presentation of decision results. Multi
criteria decisions traditional approaches such as Delphic
technique reviewed. The analytical hierarchy process,
methodology, modelling. Structuring the problem,
judgements. Group decisions with AHP, other methods.
Sensivitity analysis and presentation of results. Use of a
computer package to experiment with AHP.
