In real situations, it is often too restrictive and difficult for experts to give precise (crisp) assessments for parameters such as inflation. This would become more serious especially for some international exporters or other companies in some pendulous situations. To deal with these situations, this paper develops a dependence-based evidential reasoning approach. This study employs the effects of imperfect production process for deteriorating/ameliorating products, considering inspection in an inflationary inventory system with time dependent demand rate. Different from the previous studies, which considered inflation rate as constant and well-known, stochastic or fuzzy, this model involves inflation with uncertainty of belief structure type. A genetic algorithm is adopted, which deals with interval parameters, and a numerical example is provided to illustrate how the proposed algorithm will be performed and the results indicate that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of a heuristic approach.

AN APPROACH FOR FINDING THE MOST PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE CRITERIA
Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; TANER, OV (Elsevier BV, 1992-07-10)
An interactive approach for discrete multiple criteria decision making problems is developed. The approach requires the decision maker to compare pairs of presented alternatives. These alternatives may be existing alternatives or dummy alternatives created from existing alternatives. Inferior alternatives are sequentially eliminated by either using the responses of the decision maker directly or by constructing cones of inferior solutions based on these responses. The approach converges to the most preferre...
A progressive approach for processing satellite data by operational research
KUTER, SEMİH; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-07-01)
Satellite data, together with spatial technologies, have a vital importance in earth sciences to continuously monitor natural and physical processes. However, images taken by earth-observing satellites are often associated with uncertainties due to atmospheric effects (i.e., absorption and scattering by atmospheric gases and aerosols). In this paper, a more adaptable approach for the removal of atmospheric effects from satellite data is introduced within an operational research perspective by utilizing nonp...
An interactive approach for multiobjective decision making
Koksalan, M; Karasakal, Esra (Informa UK Limited, 2006-05-01)
We develop an interactive approach for multiobjective decision-making problems, where the solution space is defined by a set of constraints. We first reduce the solution space by eliminating some undesirable regions. We generate solutions (partition ideals) that dominate portions of the efficient frontier and the decision maker (DM) compares these with feasible solutions. Whenever the decision maker prefers a feasible solution, we eliminate the region dominated by the partition ideal. We then employ an inte...
A visual interactive approach for multiple criteria decision making with monotone utility functions
Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Rizi, O (Informa UK Limited, 2001-06-01)
We consider the problem of choosing the best of a set of alternatives where each alternative is evaluated on multiple criteria. We develop a visual interactive approach assuming that the decision maker (DM) has a general monotone utility function. The approach partitions the criteria space into nonoverlapping cells. The DM uses various graphical aids to move between cells and to further manipulate selected cells with the goal of creating cells that have ideal points less preferred than an alternative. When ...
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...
