Recent Developments in our Approach to Multiple-Criteria Decision Making

subject

description

Approximately ten years ago we began a study of multiple criteria decision making at the European Insti tute for Advanced Studies in Management in Brussels. The project started as a way of finding a multiple objective linear programming method that would work better than those tested by Wallenius (1975). We did a substantial amount of work on the problem and came up with such a method (Zionts and Wallenius, 1976). Wallenius’ (1975) thesis, one of the first outputs of that project, comprises a rather significant piece of research in the multiple criteria area. Since that time our work has continued. We have worked together on a great deal of it; some of it has involved students and other faculty colleagues. In presenting this update, we make every effort to accurately attribute (and reference) each piece of research to the appropriate person(s). Though we have tried not to omit any references or acknowledgments, or both, we apologize in advance for any inadvertant omissions.
