| Introduction |

Multicriteria analysis is a major area
of research and applications in Operations Research and Management Science. We
provide some useful links mainly about Analytical Hierarchy Process that is a
common method in Decision Making. Other multicriteria methods include Goal
programming and Electre method for ranking projects. The
Analytic Hierarchy Process in Decision Making A book written by Prof Forman of
George Washington University on Decision Making with multiple criteria, and the
Analytic Hierarchy Process. Introduction to Expert Choice. Goal
programming: Introduction This
is a simple problem that can be used as an introduction to Goal Programming,
provided by Prof. M. Trick. |

A collection of papers on the ranking
methods by Tsoukias, Vincke, Bouyssou, et.al Ranking
projects using the ELECTRE method
This paper, written by John
Buchanan from the Department of Management Systems of the University
of Waikato, describes a real application of project selection using
ELECTRE approach.
Goal Programming
Minimax
Goal Programming for Managerial Decision Making
This is an interesting article by
ShiFang Yang and J B Yang referring to Goal Programming and multi-objective
optimization.
Generalized Goal Programming: Polynomial Methods and Applications This is an article by Emilio Carrizosa, from the University of Seville, that addresses a general
Goal Programming problem with linear objectives and analyzes it from a
geometrical and a computational viewpoint. |

A
Case Study on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), by Michael A. Trick Is there any organized way that one
might think about determining the relative importance of the factors that
influence a decision and then go about comparing alternative sites? One
technique that is used is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which uses very
simple calculations to try to put numerical values on factors and alternatives.
This site includes a case study that presents this technique. Course Notes in Goal Programming Course notes for Goal weighted and
hierarchical Programming, provided by Prof. Jeff Linderoth. Course
notes for Goal Programming from the University of Birmingham. |
