Accordingly, intelligent decision-making through multi-objective optimization has been proposed as an efficient method for human-centered manufacturing. However, previous vast researches on optimization have been mainly focused on optimization theory and optimization techniques and paid little interests on the process of problem formulation itself. In this paper, therefore, the authors present a total framework for supporting multi-objective decision making. Then, the authors try to solve the formulated multi-objective optimization problem that involves both qualitative and quantitative performance measures as a general consequence from the above procedure. Taking especially quality as a qualitative measure, the authors gave a new idea to evaluate the quality quantitatively. Additionally, to facilitate the portability of the proposed method in multidisciplinary decision-making environments, the authors implement the proposal algorithm in an Excel spreadsheet and validate the effectiveness of the approach through a case study.展开更多

The underlining objective is for the provision of easily accessible and applicable machining operations data to enable and improve job accuracy and conformity to industrial standards. The design of the database for the decision support system is based on a relational frame with Microsoft Access Application package and Microsoft Structured Query Language Server, which serves as the back end of the module. A user interface designed on .Net Framework 3.5 and the windows installer 3.1 running on windows XP operating system serve as the software front end. The developed module is to serve as a decision support system for machine tool operations.展开更多

Since organizational data management uses the metadata channel for creating a bi-directional flow, when correctly managed, metadata can save both time and resources for organizations. This paperI will focus on providing theoretical aspects of the two concepts, together with a short brief over a proposed model of design for an organizational management tool.展开更多
