A multi-attribute utility theory approach to ordering policy for perishable items

open access: yesInternational Journal of Production Economics, 2020
Most retailers aim at operating with low cost and low stock-out probability. In this paper, we consider a retailer who manages the inventory of a perishable product using a continuous review (Q,r) policy with these two performance measures. We rely on the multi-attribute utility theory to combine these two measures into a single weighted utility ...

Decision Analysis Utilizing Multi-Attribute Utility Theory in Engineering Evaluations

IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems / Technical Operations Committee, 1978
This paper presents the application of multi-attribute utility theory in a decision analysis to incorporate multiple conflicting objectives into engineering evaluations. The paper is tutorial in nature and demonstrates the application of this theory through an example problem that involves the evaluation of streetlight expansion options in a regulated ...

Maintenance Optimization Using Multi-attribute Utility Theory

open access: yes, 2015
Several 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 ...

Developing a reconfigurability index using multi-attribute utility theory

International Journal of Production Research, 2011
Reconfigurable 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, 2006
This 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 ...

Application of multi attribute utility theory in multiple releases of software

International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management, 2014
One of the important applications of software reliability models is the determination of software release time. Most of the existing studies on this topic use models based on non homogeneous Poisson process with a bounded mean value function. Multi up gradation based software reliability growth model is developed for successive release modelling and ...

Combination of a Cognitive Theory with the Multi-attribute Utility Theory

2003
This 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 ...

Measuring nursing practice models using multi-attribute utility theory

Research in Nursing & Health, 2000
Nursing Practice Models (NPMs) represent the structural and contextual features that exist within any group practice of nursing. Currently, measurement of NPMs relies on costly and nonreproducible global judgments by experts. Quantitative measurement techniques are needed to provide a useful evaluation of nursing practice.
