The Value Index as a decision support tool applied to a new system for evaluating and selecting design alternatives

作者:

Highlights:

• An expert system based on Value Index is used for selecting design alternatives.

• The Value Index enables multi-criteria decisions from satisfaction/cost viewpoints.

• Uncertainty of operations is managed by means of concurrent fuzzy-logic processes.

• The Perceived Value factor allows to measure the strength of selected alternative.

• A piece of software supports the decision system and collects all the system's data.
