Nowadays, companies strive to provide products that meet individual customer needs and expectations to achieve high profits. Customers' perceptions play a significant role in the design process. However, they are normally expressed using linguistic words which are hard to interpret, especially when trying to evaluate the best design solution among multiple design alternatives. This paper proposes...
The product line optimization plays a key role to increase the revenue by satisfying consumers' various needs. While the extant studies have made the approaches from the perspective of consumers, in this paper, we propose a product line design problem from the perspective of manufacturers. The concept of neighborhood is introduced that parameterizes consumers' tolerance on specification differences...
The solutions of security problems and crisis situations are accompanied by many specific traits. Some of them are typical for all crisis situations, some of them denote the one singular form of crisis only. One common trait of crisis situations is shortage of time and information which places high demands on managers and decision-makers. Contemporary opinions about the solution of crisis situation...
Data is part of our everyday life and an essential asset in numerous businesses and organizations. The quality of the data, i.e., the degree to which the data characteristics fulfill requirements, can have a tremendous impact on the businesses themselves, the companies, or even in human lives. In fact, research and industry reports show that huge amounts of capital are spent to improve the quality...
This paper focuses on the essentiality of incorporating ethics as a course in engineering education. It claims that an amalgamation of ethical awareness and engineering skills can enable the future engineers to strengthen the relation between technology and society.
Making a decision with taking into account many criteria under uncertainty cases is really tough problem for decision authorities in all business sectors. In order to handle the problem, multi-criteria decision making techniques are developed. Multi-criteria decision problem is come up for planning engineers in electricity distribution sector to select the best solution. In this paper, three different...
The main objective of conducting this study is to shed light on the benefits and role of data warehouse (DW) as a source of knowledge acquisition in enhancing the process of decision-making. It is believed and assumed that meaningful and significant information can be acquired from DW which provides valuable knowledge to support business process and decision-making. The theoretical assumptions are...
Refactoring has been defined as improving code quality without affecting its functionality. When refactoring is overlooked in daily development, the likelihood of larger refactorings increases with time. Disadvantages of larger refactorings include that they disrupt the daily work, require additional planning effort, and often they need to be justified to stakeholders. In this paper, we investigate...
Undergraduate ethics instruction in engineering can be broadly divided into two models — disciplinary ethics (integrated within a course) and standalone semester-long ethics course. While both these models have educational value, they insufficiently prepare students in dealing with everyday routine ethical decision making that they might encounter in the workplace. This is because both these models...
Cooperative education programs alternate education and practice, resulting in increased grade point averages, greater confidence in choice of career, and relatively higher post-graduation salaries. This study examines perceived benefits and barriers for students who choose not to participate in co-ops. Since students who participate in co-ops are more likely to persist in STEM fields, and there are...
With the explosion of big data, companies both small and large are increasingly motivated to make data-driven decisions. For web-based companies in particular online controlled experiments or A/B tests have become essential scientific tools for decision-making. Large scale organizations like Google, Amazon, eBay, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Microsoft have built mature systems and support for controlled...
Innovation has gained prominence and importance within organizations as a means of ensuring competitiveness. Innovation management is usually considered in order to improve the efficiency of internal administrative processes in organizations. However, it may not be considered as a single and well-structured decision making problem, since it involves the need to aggregate different experts' points...
Many countries like the US, Brazil, Australia, Canada and some European countries have proposed policies to encourage the use of biofuels by the implementation of regulations to encourage their use in the different sectors of the economy. Among them we find the public transport sector. It is still difficult to assess the potential environmental and social benefits of the use of biofuels because they...
We formulate an integrated design and evaluation mechanism applying techniques in the field of flexible engineering design and real options analysis to build a liquefied natural gas production and fueling system for a Singapore oil & gas company. The proposed methodology consists of four main steps: 1) design and evaluation under deterministic demand, 2) uncertainty characterization and performance...
This study investigates some new approaches that concern the handling of human considerations in the decision-aiding field. We particularly look for the industrial context change and the awareness of the Decision-Maker with regards to such a change, in his decisions. Beyond the Routine regular situation, three situations are thus considered, namely the Control, the Emergency Crisis and the Loss of...
The necessity to simultaneously satisfy different stakeholders' objectives in an industrial project or in a process requires efficient performance management for decision-making. With the characteristics of multi-dimensions and dynamic nature of performance and the proliferation of evaluation criteria, the design and construction of performance measurement and management systems are facing new challenges...
For the project of an Agile/Virtual Enterprise (A/V E) the resources selection is a key factor. The resources systems (output of the selection process) should be prepared to guarantee quality, efficiency and cost-attractiveness, in order to ensure the agility and integrability of the A/V E. This is a difficult matter because it can be a combinatorial and multi-criteria problem. Despite the potential...
Planning in a multi-site, non-mass production environment is a special challenge because of several sources of uncertainty. Unlike in mass production facilities, in our setting the current state at all sites cannot be determined easily and exactly due to the spatial distribution of sites and the low degree of automation. For re-planning in case of failures, the possible alternative actions have to...
Socio-technical systems are systems where autonomous humans and computational entities collectively collaborate with each other to satisfy their goals in a dynamic environment. To be resilient, such systems need to adapt to unexpected human behaviours and exogenous changes in the environment. In this paper, we describe a framework for the development of social-technical systems where adaptation is...
Based on the analysis of methods of formation of portfolio investments in article is proposed a method for effective selection criteria for evaluating investment projects in the power industry which is based on the analysis of methods of formation the portfolio investments. Selection of projects in the portfolio is advantageously carried out on the basis of the combined modeling techniques DEMATEL...
