TYPES OF DECISIONS

TYPES OF DECISIONS
Decisions are categorized along two dimensions:-
5/8/2012
Rafi A Khan
134
TYPES OF DECISION
On the basis of the nature of the decision:-
1)Structured decision:-Its the one for which a well defined decision making
procedure exists.
2)Unstructured decision:- it is the one for which all the three decision phases
are unstructured.
3)Semi structured decision:- In this type one or two phases are structured and
the others are not.

Evaluation
Multiple goals
Today's management systems want to achieve
multiple goals simultaneously.
Goals are usually partially or totally conflicting.
Sensitivity analysis
Checks the impact of a change in the input data or parameters
on the proposed solution (the result variable)
1. Automatic sensitivity analysis
tells the range within which an input variable or parameter
can vary without impact on the proposed solution
one change at a time
2. Trial and error
some input data are changed
5/8/2012
Rafi A Khan
151
What-if-analysis
What will happen to the solution if an input variable or
a parameter is changed?
e.g. what will happen to the total inventory cost if the cost of
carrying inventories increases by 10%?
Goal seeking analysis
Computes the amount of inputs necessary to achieve a desired level
of an input (goal).
e.g. How many nurses are needed to reduce the average waiting time
of a patient in the emergency room to less than 10 minutes.

Models
A model is a simplified representation or abstraction of reality.
1. Iconic model is a physical replica of a system.
2. Analog model gives a symbolic representation of reality,
behaves like the real system but does not look like it.

3. Optimisation

Limitations:

effectively, how to plan steps in solving a complex problem,
how to improve performance, and so forth.

THE DATABASE
A database is a collection of interrelated data organized to meet the needs
and structure of an organization and can be used by more than one person
for more than one application
The data in the DSS database are extracted from internal and external data

THE DIRECTORY
The data directory is a catalog of all the data in the database.
It contains data definitions and its main function is to answer questions
about the availability of data items, their source, and their exact meaning.
The directory is especially appropriate for supporting the intelligence phase

Data Manipulation
Provides the user with a query language to interact with the database
Allows for capture and extraction of data
Provides rapid retrieval of data for ad hoc queries and reports
Allows for the construction of complex queries for retrieval and data

Inference Techniques
Forward Chaining
Forward chaining is a data-driven approach . We start from available
information as it becomes available or from a basic idea, and then we try to
draw conclusions.
Backward chaining
Backward chaining is a goal-driven approach in which you start from an
expectation of what is going to happen (hypothesis) and then seek evidence
that supports (or contradicts) your expectation.

Example
Investment Decision : Whether to invest in IBM Stocks
The following variables are used:
A= Have Rs.10,000
B= Younger than 30
C= Education at college level
D= Annual income of atleast Rs.40,000
E= Invest in securities
F= Invest in growth stocks
G= Invest in IBM stock (the potential goal)
The facts: we assume that an investor has Rs.10,000(that A is true) and
that she is 25 years old (B is true). She would like advice on
investing in IBM stock(yes or no for the goal).

Example
The Rules:Our knowledge base includes the following five rules:
R1: IF a person has Rs10,000 to invest and has a college degree THEN she should
invest in securities
R2: IF a persons annual income is atleast Rs40,000 to invest and has a college
growth stocks
R4: IF a person is < 30 and >22 THEN she has a college degree
R5:IF a person wants to invest in growth stocks then the stock should be IBM
R1:
IF A and C, THEN E
R2:
IF D and C,THEN F
R3:
IF B and E, THEN F
R4:
IF B, THEN C
R5:

report tools describe what is in a database. OLAP goes further; its used to
answer why certain things are true. The user forms a hypothesis about a
relationship and verifies it with a series of queries against the data. For
example, an analyst might want to determine the factors that lead to loan
defaults. He or she might initially hypothesize that people with low
incomes are bad credit risks and analyze the database with OLAP to verify
(or disprove) this assumption. If that hypothesis were not borne out by the
data, the analyst might then look at high debt as the determinant of risk. If
the data did not support this guess either, he or she might then try debt
