摘要:

This paper aims to explore how an « Ideas Management program », COPE, used by senior decision makers in a number of organisations, act as a Decision Support System. Based upon two extensive case studies of decision makers using the COPE system, rather than a more conventional DSS, benefits of this type of system for these decision makers are explored. These insights not only suggest some further characteristics worth bearing in mind during the design and development of DSSs, but also support a framework for creating DSSs focused on supporting managerial decision making. The characteristics include: the advantages of designing DSSs that do not disaggregate the decision maker's DSS from his interactions with groups or other individuals but rather aims to support it; the increase in effectiveness of incorporating social as well as analytical process within the DSS; and the role of qualitative rather than quantitative data as the source to the model base.

摘要:

Planning is a long, complex and repetitive task. As a result, more and more institutions tend to use on-line computer aided decision making systems which allow them to plan more quickly and to use the time saved for more important tasks. The complexity and variety of institutions (hospitals, car manufacturers, administrations, etc.) imply that the choice of the developement method is essential if one wants to have good quality software, producing schedules within a reasonable timescale. This paper describes a Decision Support Syst em for nurses scheduling. This system is currently being tested at the Geneva University Hospital. The interesting aspect of the system is that it has been entirely designed with object oriented approach. This approach enables objects to be obtained which are highly cohesive and have weak connections, making their re-usability simple. In this system the definition of objects is closely related to those of the real world (e.g nurses, care units, shifts, etc.), making it easy to understand and modify.

摘要:

In this paper we introduce a modelling, simulation and scheduling system for discrete production processes. It contains a model builder, a simulator and an evaluator manipulator. The model builder allows to create hierarchical models of discrete production processes. The hierarchical organisation of the models allows the user to focus his attention on relevant parts of the production process and to organise data (e.g. performance data). The simulator and the evaluator manipulator enable the user to explore the space of possible schedules for a given problem. The evaluator manipulator—written as a constraint propagation program—enables the system to visualise the effects of the decisions taken by the user during the scheduling process. The simulator can also be used to test the robustness of schedules with respect to machine breakdowns. The production model insulates the user from the technicalities of specifying constraints and events. Finally, we describe the use of a genetic algorithm to discover promising search states. The availability of these search states considerably enhances the cooperation between the user and the system.

摘要:

The French Employment Ministry has established different kinds of actions and aids to deal with the problems of reinsertion for the long-period unemployed (LPU). This paper describes a Decision Support System, which has been designed to help deciders in the task of programming measures intended for the LPU. This system includes an Expert System, which proposes a multicriteria evaluation providing the users with advices to choose an appropriate policy.
