Strategic planning processes are among the most demanding tasks that managers face in today's complex market place. Strategic planning is most effective when implemented as an integral part of institutional decision-making, not as a separate formal, comprehensive activity. Measuring and managing performance is a challenging enterprise and seen as one of the keys to managing change and thus gaining...
This paper develops a new the weakest t-norm (Tω) fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to evaluate green supply chain management (GSCM). Traditional DEMATEL is a popular method for making decision. In order to apply a realistic environment the fuzzy DEMATEL had to be developed for analyzing expert judgments with preferences, which are often unclear and ambiguous. The fuzzy...
The literature rarely considers an innovation network as a complex adaptive system. In this paper, theories of complex adaptive systems research are employed to model and analyze intra-organization networks, inter-organization networks as well as their interaction mechanisms in the whole innovation context, with a conceptual framework proposed and presented. Flexible multi-agent based modeling, smart...
For the problem of the bounded rationality newsboy's order decision, we use the CVaR risk measurement criteria, the Arrow-Pratt risk aversion parameter and utility function, to establish a more realistic bounded rationality newsboy model, and optimized the model with the buy-back contract and revenue sharing contract. Result shows that the existence of bounded rationality deteriorate the supply chain's...
Representing the capability of armored system-of-systems (ASoS) and modeling the evaluation process standardly are the foundations for capability evaluation of ASoS and also the difficulty in ASoS demonstration. Based on the various generation principles of ASoS capability, six capability models are analyzed, including function capability model, mission capability Portfolio model, fire unit capability...
Watersheds committees decisions making are usually complexes due to the need to consider many objectives and actors with different preferences. Therefore, this paper proposes a model for reducing conflicts in the watersheds committees using Strategic Choice Approach (SCA) for problem structuring and support in the decision-making process. The simulation shows that the model can be particularly useful...
This paper builds a maintenance time distribution model through analyzing 110 equipment maintenance time field data. It is found that maintenance time is in conformity to the logarithmic normal distribution. Therefore its maintainability characteristic functions are obtained (mainly including: m(t), M(t), μ(t)). Evaluation is performed on its maintainability level, and then references could be provided...
Modeling the problems facing for further analysis and decision making is often required by service systems and management. A toolbox with up-to-date methodologies may render us more powerful modeling capabilities for better analysis and sounder decisions. Linear conic programming extends the popularly used linear programming models from linearity to non-linearity and from convexity to non-convexity...
According to the disturbance, complexity and derivative of unconventional emergencies, studying the evolution rules in order to monitor the complexity and development trend of event processing has become one of the hot research issues. This paper proposed a trend monitoring model and formal description for unconventional emergencies based the NFA, and designed the events evolutionary algorithm. The...
This research paper discusses the controled design process of using a new ICT approach to theorize a language learning model in the context of language learning. It starts with the introduction of ICT. Then the relateed ICT affordances are explored. After it, the controlled design process of using a new ICT approach is stated which may be suitable to language learning. Finally, the factors which lead...
The interface design of software used on Home Appliances targeted at satisfying passenger's physiology and psychological needs when operating the machine to the maximum extent is a complicated synthetic topic which embracing ergonomics, visual communication design, user experience design, behavior psychology, cultural studies of the consumer, optics and Chromatics and so on. So, it is very difficult...
By analyzing the characteristics of the activities in POL support, the paper proposes novel multi-attribute decision making method based on criteria inference. The thresholds are used to evaluate the inaccuracies in determining the attribute's values by means of the pseudo criterion of ELECTRE III. The dominance attribute sets are constructed via estimating the outranking relationship between the...
Expert consultation is a group decision making method often used in the argumentation. This paper proposes a 2-mode network for the expert consultation, and gives a procedure to study the network in static and dynamic way. The procedure includes a series of analytical methods such as correspondence analysis, cluster analysis, multi dimensional scaling, degree analysis and centrality analysis. Case...
This paper describes a recently completed project to develop a human factors informed simulation of team-based expert coordination and knowledge sharing tasks in a complex and resilient control system. The project explores processes of anomaly response in NASA spaceflight mission control teams, using as a baseline example the mission profile and anomalies experienced during the final Space Shuttle...
This article introduces the main idea of decision-making behavior testing scenario management system. Based on the study of the classic experiments in theory of behavioral decision effect, testing scenarios are designed for testing decision-making behavior of business executives, and then a management system is developed to achieve dynamic management of testing scenarios. Behavioral decision theory...
In traditional college classes, teachers collect the responses of students via questioning. With the expansion of the student population in China's higher education system, teachers are getting difficult to gather the information on the instruction effect. The importance of Instruction response system (IRS) in traditional teacher-oriented class is getting more and more recognized in college instruction...
The main components of the inventory control system are analyzed. The dynamic inventory control model of vulnerable articles is built by focusing on the characteristics of the vulnerable articles, introducing the lost time and loss factor of articles to calculate the inventory loss cost and on the condition of considering the bulk price discount and safety inventory, etc. The model has been verified...
Cyberspace situation awareness (CSA) is the base of cyberspace operations (CO). A right decision of CO is based on the correct awareness of the cyberspace situation. The paper analyzes two classical models, and then takes account of the characteristics of cyberspace operations, finally proposes a hierarchical, multi-perspectives model. The model employs three perspectives and four layers. The model...
In this paper, landform and other geologic environmental factors are analyzed by Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation Method. By using the non-binding characteristic of repeater radiation frequency, specific terrain constraints are introduced, and the cost function of the Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation Model is constructed. Hence, the restrained communication covering problem with the optimal locations and numbers...
