Abstract
This paper proposes a general Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) methodology involving pre-emptive priorities and fuzzy goals which can be applied to tackle Multi-Criteria Decision Systems (MCDS) with imprecise parameters. Specifically, it emphasizes certain assumptions about the psychology of the decision system (DS) where the dynamic involvement of the decision-maker (DM) is highlighted. The methodology, which is mostly DM oriented, is applied to a case study of a tube-well command area planning. The results demonstrate that (i) the DM normally satisfices rather than optimizes and (ii) the output of a DS is his best acceptable course of action.

This paper illustrates the application of “fuzzy subsets” concepts to goal programming in a fuzzy environment by considering a fuzzy goal-programming problem with multiple goals having equal weights associated with them and developing a solution approach based on linear programming.

It is demonstrated how fuzzy or imprecise aspirations of the decision maker (DM) can be quantified through the use of piecewise linear and continuous functions.

A new approach to formulating fuzzy priorities in a goal programming problem is proposed, which leads to a formulation in which tradeoffs between goals more closely reflect the decision maker's intentions than in other noninteractive approaches.

50 Citations1982Ram Narasimhan
This paper proposes a simple averaging procedure to construct a supertransitive approximation to a binary comparison matrix, where inconsistency is a problem, and suggests that such an adjustment might be necessary to more closely reflect the inherent fuzziness of the evaluations contained in abinary comparison matrix.
