INTERACTIVE INTEGER GOAL PROGRAMMING: METHODS AND APPLICATION

Goal programming has received a great deal of attention during the past several years as a management decision making tool for problems that involve multiple conflicting objectives. One area of goal programming which requires further development is the integer solution methodology. The purpose of this paper is the development and demonstration of interactive integer goal programming methods for multiple objective problems through a real-world application example. The interactive approach allows not only a simple way to derive an integer solution to the problem but it also provides a complete sensitivity analysis of the model.
