Multicriteria Analysis Applied to Environment Management


Duration :15h Th, 15h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
3rd year of a management engineering's degree
Holder(s) :Daniel Dubois
Course contents : The multicriteria analysis aims at providing tools which make it possible to progress in the resolution of a problem of choice, decision or action where several criteria, often contradictory, must be taken into account. The first observation which must be made, when one tackles such a problem, is that there does not exist, in general, a solution which is the best simultaneously for all the criteria. The multicriteria methods provide solutions of better compromise. This course constitutes an introduction to the multicriteria analysis: - the modeling of the preferences - basic concepts of the multicriteria assistance to the decision - the theory of the multiattribute utility - outclassing and interactive methods - various questions - software of multicriteria analysis. Real case studies will be particularly analyzed within the framework of the management of the environment.
Course objective : The objective of the course is triple:
1. To show the importance of the multicriteria analysis in the formulation of decision-making;
2. To describe methods of multicriteria analysis, as an extension of the mono-criterion methods (like the linear programming);
3. To apply methods to management of the environment (for example, to optimize the treatment of waste water).
Prerequisites : No prerequisites.
Workshops : A personal work will be requested from the student.
Organization : Ex-cathedra lectures
Written notes : Syllabi will be available on the virtual campus: http://campus.hec.ulg.ac.be (http://campus.hec.ulg.ac.be/)
Assessment : The evaluation is based on the personal work completed by the student and on the final written report.
