Abstract
We present an integrated decision support environment for multiple objective linear optimization. The system includes a large number of popular algorithms for solving a class of multiple criteria decision making problem known as multiple objective linear programs. An example problem from the literature is solved using MOLP-PC to provide a tour of the system. Actual screen outputs are described which highlight various features of the system. 1. Introduction Decision making is the process of selecting the best course of action from all the available alternatives. In almost all real-world problems, the multiplicity of criteria for judging an alternative is pervasive. This is due to the fact that the decision maker (DM) usually wants to achieve more than one objective or goal while satisfying the constraints dictated by environment, processes, and resources. Another factor contributing to the complexity of the problem is that very often, the objectives are apparently non-commensurable. Th...
