Making numerous business decisions in complex decentralized organizations can be presented as a ML MOLP problem with FPs expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers. This paper presents a methodology that ...uses several multi-objective programming methods to solve this problem. The Iskander’s method was used for defuzzification of the objective functions and constraints of the problem and a multi-objective programming method based on the cooperation among decision makers was used to determine the aspired values of the variables controlled by the decision-makers and to obtain the preferred non-dominated solution of the entire problem. The efficiency of the proposed methodology was tested on an example of production planning in a complex decentralized company.
This paper examines added value in the alignment of equipment characteristics and strategic organizational goals as an important activity for the execution of organizational tasks. By applying the ...practical value model, negative consequences due to existing risk are smaller since equipment characteristics and strategical organizational goals are aligned according to stakeholders' values. During negotiations, the alignment of equipment characteristics and existing organizational resources also results in added value since parties negotiate using a "win-win" approach. From the beginning to the end of the alignment, positive risk is examined, creating additional value. The synthesis of valuefocused approach, negotiation process based on analytical modeling, and positive risk management contributes to the developed methodology of aligning equipment characteristics and strategic organizational goals for the organization that acquires equipment, continuously creating additional value.
The analysis for negotiation results in a prescriptive negotiation procedure that improves the decision making process by increasing the understanding of the decision situation and by the explaining ...rationale for decision. This prescriptive procedure is used for the evaluation of stakeholders who negotiate, for guidance when there are tensions between various stakeholders, and for the change in the stakeholders` perceptions when considering the creation of additional value and possible agreement(s). The procedure is divided into five specific steps, based on the standard acquisition procedure. The procedure is applied to the case of acquiring Armored Wheeled Vehicles 8x8 (AWV) for the Croatian Armed Forces (CAF), according to the Croatian procurement regulations.
Strategic planning of e-learning implementation includes decision making about the most suitable form of implementing e-learning on different levels. Decision making about e-learning implementation ...has been covered as consisting of four phases: (1) intelligence, (2) design, (3) choice and (4) implementation. During the Intelligence phase we have precisely identified our central decision problem and have conducted situation analysis. In the Design phase we have developed alternatives and established criteria and subcriteria. Then, we have created the questionnaire about the importance of the advantages and goals of e-learning implementation and about criteria and subcriteria essential for decision making. The survey has been conducted on the sample of 90 elearning experts in Croatia. Further, we connected these findings with the results of the factor analysis which was performed on the complete survey. The results of the factor analysis have served as input in the multicriteria decision model (AHP) that we have developed in the Choice phase. The AHP model will be presented in the article and qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the model will be indicated.
There are different forms of teaching using ICT, and they differ according to the level of technological support, the role and tasks of the participants, the level of students’ participation, the ...physical location of the participants and their interaction. Distance learning is the common name for the process of obtaining knowledge and skills with the assistance of ICT and other forms of distance study. E-learning is a special form of such teaching. In terms of the teaching materials’ specific qualities, and the recommendation of teaching methods for successful teaching, there are different options for applying e-learning in teaching. E-learning can be used either as an independent form of teaching, or as a support to the already established systems of education, or even as their addition. The problem that is being solved in this paper is the prioritisation of e-learning forms for the specific teaching unit, subject, group of subjects, or the whole teaching programme. All this should be done regarding the context, which is characterised by the quality and innovative teaching, available professionals, equipment, possibility of students’ approach to technology, organization of teaching, and rules and regulations. This problem was solved with the assistance of AHP models developed in the process of group decision making supported by sw TeamEC2000.
