The proposed method gives decision maker flexibility to accommodate for different cases (Case specific situations).
It was demonstrated that, as a distance-based method, the new methodology preserves the characteristics of fuzzy composite programming but, at the same time allows the decision-maker flexibility in the assignment of relative importance between objectives.
This model provides the decision maker the flexibility of choosing a suitable cell design from different alternatives by considering the practical constraints.
11 environment, the lawyers tried to give decision makers broad legal flexibility," Mr. Rivkin said.
However, the deep uncertainty associated with the multiple feasible future climate scenarios also provokes a "wait and see" mentality for some decision makers, causing the flexibility of a strategy to be valued.
Therefore, in this paper, we develop a new approach based on Fuzzy Association Rule Mining to support the decision makers by enhancing the flexibility in making decisions for evaluating agility with both tangibles and intangibles attributes/criteria such as Flexibility, Profitability, Quality, Innovativeness, Pro-activity, Speed of response, Cost and Robustness.
Combined with the transition to mostly block grants, the means education decision makers have much more flexibility on how to spend money on technology hardware, software, and training.
Decision makers should be given flexibility in expressing their judgments, because they are familiar with the linguistic variables applied to words and sentences in the description of the degree of value.
Under a fully uncertain environment where all of the data are stated as fuzzy, presenting the reasonable range of values for the decision variables may be comparatively better than the currently available crisp solutions so as to provide ranges of flexibility to decision makers.
In doing so, a functional view greatly increases the flexibility of decision makers, by clarifying the implications of all technology options and limiting the commitment to given solutions.
