Multiple Criteria Decision Support in Engineering Design examines
some of the underlying issues and related modelling strategies,
with a view to exploring the rich potential of a generalised
multiple-criteria approach to design decision-making. The arguments
are supported by numerical examples. It can be argued that, within
the classic monocriterion paradigm, the optimal solution is
inarguably identified once the feasible alternatives are
established and an objective function agreed on. It is only when
conflict resolution is involved that decision-making truly becomes
important, and many design situations exist where stated functional
requirements may be in actual or potential conflict. The most
preferred solution under such circumstances depends on the
designer's or decision-maker's priorities, so that the chosen
solution is based on a combination of technical possibilities and
designer preferences. This book addresses the key concepts in
multiple criteria decision-making and provides valuable insight
into how such problems arise and can be solved, in the area of
decision-making in general and in the domain of engineering design
in particular.
