In today’s increasingly globalised and complex economy that is flooded with data, taking decisions is a much more complex task. To help managers to tackle this challenge, we have developed a new multi-criteria performance management method that provides input for visual management and continuous improvement initiatives.
In the first part of the talk by Prof Alessio Ishizaka, visual management tools on energy planning are applied. Although Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods have been extensively used in energy planning, their descriptive use has been rarely considered. In this paper, we add an evolutionary description phase as an extension to the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method that helps policy makers to gain insights into their decision problems. The proposed extension has been implemented in an open-source software that allows the users to visualize the difference of opinions within a decision process, and also the evolution of preferences over time.
In second part of the talk, the innovation performances of small and medium enterprises from the French Lorraine region are assessed by integrating visual management tool with PROMETHEE.
