1 Multicriteria Decision Making Chapter 9 91

2 Chapter Topics Goal Programming Graphical Interpretation of Goal Programming Computer Solution of Goal Programming Problems with QM for Windows and Excel The Analytical Hierarchy Process Scoring Models 92

3 Overview Study of problems with several criteria, multiple criteria, instead of a single objective when making a decision. Three techniques discussed: goal programming, the analytical hierarchy process and scoring models. Goal programming is a variation of linear programming considering more than one objective (goals) in the objective function. The analytical hierarchy process develops a score for each decision alternative based on comparisons of each under different criteria reflecting the decision makers preferences. Scoring models are based on a relatively simple weighted scoring technique. 93

4 Example Problem Data (1 of 2) Beaver Creek Pottery Company Example: Maximize Z = $40x 1 50x 2 subject to: 1x 1 2x 2 40 hours of labor 4x 1 3x pounds of clay x 1, x 2 0 Where: x 1 = number of bowls produced x 2 = number of mugs produced 94

5 Example Problem Data (2 of 2) Adding objectives (goals) in order of importance, the company: 1. Does not want to use fewer than 40 hours of labor per day. 2. Would like to achieve a satisfactory profit level of $1,600 per day. 3. Prefers not to keep more than 120 pounds of clay on hand each day. 4. Would like to minimize the amount of overtime. 95

6 Goal Constraint Requirements All goal constraints are equalities that include deviational variables d and d. A positive deviational variable (d ) is the amount by which a goal level is exceeded. A negative deviation variable (d ) is the amount by which a goal level is underachieved. At least one or both deviational variables in a goal constraint must equal zero. The objective function seeks to minimize the deviation from the respective goals in the order of the goal priorities. 96

7 Model Formulation Goal Constraints (1 of 3) Labor goal: x 1 2x 2 d 1 d 1 = 40 (hours/day) Profit goal: 40x 1 50 x 2 d 2 d 2 = 1,600 ($/day) Material goal: 4x 1 3x 2 d 3 d 3 = 120 (lbs of clay/day) 97

8 Model Formulation Objective Function (2 of 3) 1. Labor goals constraint (priority 1 less than 40 hours labor; priority 4 minimum overtime): Minimize P 1 d 1, P 4 d 1 2. Add profit goal constraint (priority 2 achieve profit of $1,600): Minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 4 d 1 3. Add material goal constraint (priority 3 avoid keeping more than 120 pounds of clay on hand): Minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 3 d 3, P 4 d 1 98

9 Model Formulation Complete Model (3 of 3) Complete Goal Programming Model: Minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 3 d 3, P 4 d 1 subject to: x 1 2x 2 d 1 d 1 = 40 40x 1 50 x 2 d 2 d 2 = 1,600 4x 1 3x 2 d 3 d 3 = 120 x 1, x 2, d 1, d 1, d 2, d 2, d 3, d 3 0 (labor) (profit) (clay) 99

10 Alternative Forms of Goal Constraints (1 of 2) Changing fourthpriority goal limits overtime to 10 hours instead of minimizing overtime: d 1 d 4 d 4 = 10 minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 3 d 3, P 4 d 4 Addition of a fifthpriority goal important to achieve the goal for mugs : x 1 d 5 = 30 bowls x 2 d 6 = 20 mugs minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 3 d 3, P 4 d 4, 4P 5 d 5 5P 5 d 6 910

11 Alternative Forms of Goal Constraints (2 of 2) Complete Model with Added New Goals: Minimize P 1 d 1, P 2 d 2, P 3 d 3, P 4 d 4, 4P 5 d 5 5P 5 d 6 subject to: x 1 2x 2 d 1 d 1 = 40 40x 1 50x 2 d 2 d 2 = 1,600 4x 1 3x 2 d 3 d 3 = 120 d 1 d 4 d 4 = 10 x 1 d 5 = 30 x 2 d 6 = 20 x 1, x 2, d 1, d 1, d 2, d 2, d 3, d 3, d 4, d 4, d 5, d
