options for improvement

Support complex decision-making tasks

Select options that best satisfy the goals of the decision maker.

Decompose decisions into sub-problems

Break a complete problem into smaller parts that are easier to solve.

Develop qualitative multi-attribute models

Use discrete attributes that are straightforward to define and manage.


DEXi models

are developed by defining

Attributes

Qualitative variables that represent decision sub-problems.

Scales

Ordered or unordered sets of symbolic values that can be assigned to attributes.

Tree of attributes

A hierarchy representing how the decision problem is decomposed.

Utility functions

Rules that aggregate attributes from the bottom to the top of the tree.


DEXi analysis

facilitates

Description of options

Define values for the basic attributes at the terminal nodes of the tree.

Evaluation of options

Aggregate option values from the bottom up using utility functions.

Analysis of options

Use what-if and “plus-minus-1” analysis, selective explanation, option generation, and comparison.

Reporting

Present models, options, and evaluation results graphically and in text.
