Study Notes

Decision Making Techniques

  • Decision-making under certainty conditions assumes a single outcome or solution.
  • Deterministic techniques are used in decision-making under certainty conditions.

Characteristics of Decision Making Under Certainty

  • Only one type of event can take place.
  • The decision-making process expresses a single degree of optimism.
  • It does not depend on experience and past data of the organization.

Linear Programming Model

  • Conditions of certainty exist.
  • Divisibility in the objective function and constraints is a characteristic.
  • Non-negativity conditions exist.
  • Linearity is not a compulsory condition.

Transportation Problems

  • Vogel's approximation method is based on the concept of penalty cost or regret.

Decision-Making Approaches
