Strategies in Multiple Criteria Decision Making

The Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem has been considered in its general form. The focus of this thesis, however, is on multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) problems. The MCDM problem will first be examined for possible modifications in an attempt to resolve conflicts among the objectives. The concept of the range of compromise is introduced in this research. Determination of the range of compromise requires evaluation of two parameters n(,v), the minimum value that objective v can take within the nondominated set and M(,v), the maximum feasible value for objective v. An algorithm is developed to find n(,v). Evaluation of M(,v) is a straightforward linear programming problem.
