Tiivistelmä: | Values pervade the field of operations research. Expressed as objectives, goals , criteria, performance measures, and/or objective functions, they are necessary in theoretical operations research models and in applications. This paper outlines hoe to identify values for a specific decision problem, hoe to structure these values to facilitate thinking and analysis, and how to quantify values. Two important uses of values are to create better alternatives for decision problems and to define decision problems that are more appealing than those that confront us. |
