An Integrated Approach for Decision Support through Multi-objective Optimization with Application to an Ill-posed Design Problem

In the current scenario of global competition and short product life cycles, customer-defined satisfaction has attracted interest in artifact design. Accordingly, intelligent decision-making through multi-objective optimization has been proposed as an efficient method for human-centered manufacturing. However, previous vast researches on optimization have been mainly focused on optimization theory and optimization techniques and paid little interests on the process of problem formulation itself. In this paper, therefore, the authors present a total framework for supporting multi-objective decision making. Then, the authors try to solve the formulated multi-objective optimization problem that involves both qualitative and quantitative performance measures as a general consequence from the above procedure. Taking especially quality as a qualitative measure, the authors gave a new idea to evaluate the quality quantitatively. Additionally, to facilitate the portability of the proposed method in multidisciplinary decision-making environments, the authors implement the proposal algorithm in an Excel spreadsheet and validate the effectiveness of the approach through a case study.

复式账户框架下的成本收益分析(英文)

本文探讨了基于电子表格数据对成本—收益进行分析的多账目分析框架,其中包括成本—收益分析师经常用到的概念,如用于市场失效分析的影子定价方法、净收益的分配、敏感性和风险性分析、公共基金的成本,以及环境效应。该分析框架可适用于多种项目和情形,并对于决策者和分析师而言具有优良的特性,如可使分析师较容易地对项目决策进行评估,为工程项目的公共利益、私人利益分析以及效率、相关利益集团分析提供所需的数据,包括现行的市场价格、影子定价中有争议的相关问题和非市场评估等。它还可以对内部一致性进行评估和审核。另外,该分析框架还有助于保证决策者决策过程的完整一致性和透明性,以及提供决策所需的详尽信息。
