Make vs. buy decisions: A process incorporating multi-attribute decision-making

International Journal of Production Economics, 2002
Abstract The need for companies to develop consistent and competitive manufacturing strategies is now well established. A fundamental question in the development of a manufacturing strategy is the determination of what the company will make and what it will buy, i.e. the make vs. buy (MvB) decision.

On multi-period multi-attribute decision making

Knowledge-Based Systems, 2008
Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) is an important part of modern decision science. It has been extensively applied to various areas such as society, economics, military, management, etc., and has been receiving more and more attention over the last decades.

Multi-attribute Decision-Making Support System

2019
This chapter presents three multi-attribute decision-making support methods, i.e., an improved entropy weight method, evidential reasoning, and interval evidential reasoning. The decision-making methods based on ER and IER approaches are used to determine a final optimal solution from the Pareto-optimal solutions obtained by multi-objective ...

A Proxy Approach to Multi-Attribute Decision Making

Management Science, 1978
This paper combines two rival preference modeling techniques in a new approach to multi-attribute decision making. Currently existing multi-attribute procedures use either global or local preference modeling. In the global modeling technique, a single preference function is constructed in the large; its maximum is the optimal alternative. In the local

Multi-attribute decision making by consumers associations

European Journal of Operational Research, 1986
Abstract Many consumers associations provide their readers with comparative tests in their magazines. In this paper, three multiple criteria decision methods are compared on 49 sets of products in order to study the coherence and the stability of the results.

Varying Weights in Multi-Attribute Decision Making

Volume 4: 20th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology; Second International Conference on Micro- and Nanosystems, 2008
Extreme cases that contain either extremely high or pretty low preference attribute(s) are investigated for multi-attribute decision making problems. Normal cases occur most of the time, and many existing methods have been developed to support the decision making in such scenarios.

Fuzzy Random Multi-attribute Decision Making Method

2008 Fifth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2008
Fuzziness and randomness are two key aspects of uncertainty. During decision making process, it is a normal situation that fuzzy and random variables appear simultaneously. Fuzzy random multi-attribute decision making (FRMADM) is to select the best alternative or rank alternatives among limited feasible alternatives, under fuzzy and random conditions ...

Introduction to Multi-attribute Military Decision-Making

2019
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) only has a limited number of assets and a finite amount of time to conduct investigations, thus DHS must establish priorities for its investigations. The risk assessment office has collected the data for the morning meeting shown in Table 5.1.

Probability numbers for multi-attribute decision-making

Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems
In the face of increasingly complex data forms and decision-making problems, the uncertainty of information poses a major challenge to multi-attribute decision-making methods. How to effectively organize information and serve realistic decision-making problems has attracted extensive attention in the academic circles.
