Application of an interactive method for MOILP in project selection decision - a case from an Indian coal mining industry

Abstract In this paper an attempt is made to develop a methodology for project selection in an Indian coal mining company. The methodology involves the formulation of the project selection problem as a multiple criteria integer linear program and its solution by an interactive method. A case example problem is studied and solved using the proposed methodology.
