Notes Part 4 Chapter 1

  1. Efficiency in MOUT should not be confused with efficiency in cost-effectiveness analysis, where it means “with a minimum of costs” (see therefore: Part III, 2.2).

  8. Some, however, will also call it goal programming if the Lexicographic Method is deternined as a function of the deviations of a goal. E.g., D. Giokas, M. Vassiloglou, A goal programming model for bank assets and liabilities management, European Journal of Operational Research, vol.50, No1, 1991, 48–60. Steuer develops a similar approach and calls it “preemptive goal programming”.
