Developing a reconfigurability index using multi-attribute utility theory
International Journal of Production Research, 2011Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) have been acknowledged as a promising means of providing manufacturing companies with the required production capacities and capabilities. This is accomplished through reconfiguring the system elements over the time for a diverse set of individualised products often required in small quantities and with short

Transportation corridor decision-making with multi-attribute utility theory
International Journal of Management and Decision Making, 2006This paper provides a description of how decisions concerning transportation programmes and projects can be made in the context of sustainable transportation. It provides information on identifying appropriate performance measures for sustainable transportation and then quantifying these measures with a traffic simulation model (CORSIM) as well as ...

Maintenance Optimization Using Multi-attribute Utility Theory
2015Several factors such as reliability, availability, and cost may consider in the maintenance modeling. In order to develop an optimal inspection program, it is necessary to consider the simultaneous effect of above factor in the model structure. In addition, for finding the optimal maintenance interval it is necessary to make trade-offs between several ...

Applications of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory: Comments
1977We would like to consider the review paper by Patrick Humphreys in the context of two other review papers on the same subject, the papers by Huber (1974) and by von Winterfeldt and Fischer (1975), and we intend to show that substantial progress in the applicability of multiattribute utility theory is represented by this sequence of papers.

Multi-attribute utility theory for measuring safety
European Journal of Operational Research, 1982Abstract The advent of new technology, much of which is complex and dangerous, has produced the need for defensible and sound methods for measuring safety and for determining whether a given level of safety is appropriate. This is particularly true in the nuclear industry where most of the opposition to nuclear power is concerned with the safety of ...

Schizophrenia: Multi-Attribute Utility Theory Approach to Selection of Atypical Antipsychotics
Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2007Background: Current guidelines/algorithms recommend atypical antipsychotics as first-line agents for the treatment of schizophrenia. Because there are extensive healthcare costs associated with the treatment of schizophrenia, many institutions and health systems are faced with making restrictive formulary decisions regarding the use of atypical ...

Combination of a Cognitive Theory with the Multi-attribute Utility Theory
2003This paper presents how a novel combination of a cognitive theory with the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) can be incorporated in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in order to provide adaptive and intelligent help to users. The GUI is called I-Mailer and is meant to help users achieve their goals and plans during their interaction with an e ...

Multi-Attribute Utility Theory: Models and Assessment Procedures
1975This article reviews multi-attribute utility theory under a measurement theoretic perspective. It describes and classifies decision situations according to three salient aspects of choice: uncertainty, time-variability, and multi-dimensionality. For each choice situation the main mathematical representations, their interrelations and differences are ...

Multi-Attribute Utility Theory
2012Multi-attribute utility theory is an extension of Utility theory developed to help decision-makers assign utility values, taking into consideration the decision-maker’s preferences, to outcomes by evaluating these in terms of multiple attributes and combining these individual assignments to obtain overall utility measures.

Application of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory
1977Tversky (1967) identified a major goal of scientific investigation as the decomposition of complex phenomena into sets of ‘basic’ factors according to specifiable rules of combination. Following this approach, this review evaluates Multi-attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) in terms of its claim to success in providing an axiomatization of decomposition and
