Book excerpt: The increasing complexity of today's business and military decisions demand informed decision making at all levels of management. Such decision making must be fully supported by timely and accurate analysis. Computers are well-suited for such analysis. Unfortunately, the large mainframe computers are not flexible or responsive enough for use by most managers in a timely manner. The growing popularity, presence, and capability of microcomputers represents a new opportunity for operations research. These small, low-cost machines can provide much of the computer support needed for decision making by managers and analysts provided that the necessary software tools are developed. This thesis was undertaken to provide a user-oriented decision analysis tool which exploits the advantages of personal computers. Of the many useful quantitative techniques available, the weighting and constraint techniques of multi-objective decision analysis were selected and implemented. Originator-supplied keywords include: Multiobjective linear programming, Microcomputers, Linear programming, Optimization, and Personal computers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essence of decision-aiding software is that it consists of various forms of microcomputer programming designed to enable users to process a set of (1) goals to be achieved, (2) alternatives available for achieving them, and (3) relations between goals and alternatives in order to choose the best alternative, combination, allocation, or predictive decision-rule. Benefits from using decision-aiding software include (1) being more explicit about goals to be achieved, alternatives available for achieving them, and relations between goals and alternatives; (2) being stimulated to think of more goals, alternatives, and relations than one would otherwise be likely to do; (3) being prepared to handle multiple goals, alternatives, and relations without getting confused and without feeling the need to resort to a single composite goal or a single go/no-go alternative; (4) being encouraged to experiment with changes in the inputs into one's thinking to see how one's conclusions are affected; and (5) being better able to achieve or exceed one's goals when choosing among alternatives or allocating scarce resources. There are five parts to the book covering: (1) a broad overview of decision-aiding packages, including criteria for evaluating them; (2) approaches that are based on management science and operations research, including linear programming and decision trees; (3) spreadsheet-based software, generally with goals on the columns, alternatives on the rows, relations in the cells, overall totals for each alternative at the far right, and a capability for indicating how the totals would be altered as a result of changes in the inputs; (4) expert systems software including rule-based and knowledge-based expert systems; and (5) general applications of decision-aiding software and a discussion of the increasing utilization of such software.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In bringing together this book, the editors have kept two goals in mind. Firstly, the goal of educating the reader by giving an insight into the wealth of computing and mathematical techniques now being used to build decision support systems. Secondly, of aiming to stimulate the imagination by including an eclectic mix of contributions from a wide range of business areas to demonstrate that there is no field in which modern decision support techniques cannot usefully be applied. The quintessence of decision support systems is that they are designed to assist people in establishing the best course of action in a given situation but not to automate or tell them prescriptively how to achieve a goal.

Book excerpt: The enhanced version of the Decision Analysis Support System (DASS) is a highly interactive computer-aided decision analysis tool. It automates the method for determining preferences when multiple and competing attributes are involved. Worth assessment is used as the model which evaluates a deterministic hierarchical tree structure, although risk can be evaluated by incorporating risk into the tree or by conducting sensitivity analyses. The objective of this work was to incorporate the DASS (originally developed by Bruce W. Morlan) onto a microcomputer using PASCAL. The second objective was to exploit the color graphics capability on the microcomputer system for both input and output displays. The final objective was to add capability to the DASS by adding additional sensitivity analysis modules. All objectives were met in this work. Additional exploitation of the computer graphics, as well as some pre-processing of the tree structure are areas suggested for further exploration. (Author).
