Multi-criteria Decision Analysis for Supporting the Selection of Engineering Materials in Product Design, Second Edition, provides readers with tactics they can use to optimally select materials to satisfy complex design problems when they are faced with the vast range of materials available.

Current approaches to materials selection range from the use of intuition and experience, to more Format: Paperback. Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) has the potential for improving all areas of decision-making in engineering, from design to manufacture, but is especially beneficial for applications in high-technology market sectors, where product differentiation and competitive advantage are often achieved by just very small gains in material performance.

Multi-criteria Decision Analysis for Supporting the Selection of Engineering Materials in Product Design, Second Edition, Supporting multicriteria decision making book readers with tactics they can use to optimally select materials to satisfy complex design problems when they are faced with the vast range of materials available.

This book introduces students on Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding and Making courses to practical, real-world cases. Each case study introduces a problem or situation together with a method, and a description and explanation of a computer application.

A comprehensive and accessible guide to Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis methods and software. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is an important tool for decision-makers.

Multicriteria decision Analysis is a technique that uses decision matrix to provide a systematic analytical approach for establishing criteria, such as risk levels, uncertainty, and valuation, to evaluate and rank many ideas.

From selecting sites for new hospitals, schools, and factories, to managing forests and rivers, to creating and maintaining highways and bridges, public and private organizations are often called on to make decisions on geographic questions that involve a multitude of alternatives and often conflicting evaluation criteria.

Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) or multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a sub-discipline of operations research that explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision making (both in daily life and in settings such as business, government and medicine).

Conflicting criteria are typical in evaluating options: cost or price is usually one of the main criteria, and.

When projects fall behind schedule, executives and stakeholders look to the project manager to implement a process that compresses the project schedule, a process that may involve using different technologies, reallocated resources, and reduced scope.

This article examines a systematic decision-making approach for managing this effort as a multi-criteria problem that integrates subjective and. This super class of models is very often called multi-criteria decision making (or MCDM). According to many authors (see, for instance, [Zimmermann, ]) MCDM is divided into Multi-Objective Decision Making (or MODM) and Multi-Attribute Decision Making (or MADM).

MODM studies decision problems in which the decision space is Size: KB. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a general framework for supporting complex decision-making situations with multiple and often conflicting objectives that stakeholders groups and/or decision-makers value differently.

A typical example of a decision-making situation assisted by MCDA methods is determination of an appropriate water. His research interests include multiple criteria decision making, decision support systems, computational pattern recognition and financial risk management.

He has published over 50 research articles in premier international journals. He has also co-authored several books, edited volumes, book chapters, conference papers and edited special issues.

Overview Aims and Scope. The Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (JMCDA) was launched inwith an explanatory byline ‘Optimization, Learning and Decision Support’ added with a restructuring of the editorial board in From the outset, JMCDA aimed to be the repository of choice for papers covering all aspects of MCDA (Multicriteria decision analysis or aid) and MCDM.

This book describes the growing field of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) as applied to materials selection in product design.

Useful in academic and research contexts, as well as to practitioners in materials engineering and design, it aids readers in producing successful designs by improving the decision-making process in materials Edition: 1.
