In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The developed approach and the well-known sorting method UTADIS are applied to a real case study to analyze the R&D projects proposed to a grant program executed by a government funding agency in 2009. A five level R&D project selection criteria hierarchy and an assisting point allocation guide are defined to measure and quantify the performance of the projects. In the case study, the developed methods are observed to be more stable than UTADIS.

A metamodeling methodology involving both qualitative and quantitative input factors Tunali, S; Batmaz, I (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-16) This paper suggests a methodology for developing a simulation metamodel involving both quantitative and qualitative factors. The methodology mainly deals with various strategic issues involved in metamodel estimation, analysis, comparison, and validation. To illustrate how to apply the methodology, a regression metamodel is developed for a client-server computer system. In particular, we studied how the response time is affected by the quantum interval, the buffer size. and the total number of terminals whe...
A resource investment problem with time/resource trade-offs Colak, Erdem; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2014-05-01) In this study, we consider a Resource Investment Problem with time/resource trade-offs in project networks. We assume that there is a single renewable resource and the processing requirement of an activity can be reduced by investing extra resources. Our aim is to minimize the maximum resource usage, hence, the total amount invested for the single resource, while meeting the pre-specified deadline. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear model and find optimal solutions for small-sized problem in...
A Lagrangean relaxation based approach for the capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01) This study considers the operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations is selected to be processed and assigned to the machines together with their required tools. The purchase or usage of the required tools incurs a cost. The machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities. The objective is to maximize the total weight of the assigned operations minus the total tooling costs. We use Lagrangean relaxation approach to obtain upper and lower...
A Multi-Attribute Assignment Goal-Programming Model with Incentives Saatçioğlu, Ömer (JSTOR, 1987-4) A multi-attribute assignment goal-programming model is developed in this paper for the selection and assignment of transfer personnel. Attributes and incentives are used to select the correct type of people from surplus personnel and assign them to vacant positions. The model is illustrated in a simple, exemplary case problem, and the results are interpreted. The model is solved by using a sequential linear goal-programming algorithm and a mixed-integer programming subroutine.
A method for decentralized business process modeling Türetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2007) This thesis study proposes a method for organizations to perform business process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The Plural method is based on the idea that organizations’ processes can be modeled by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to understand, analyze, model and improve processes, individuals are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. These individual models are then integrated to f...
