Abstract
This paper demonstrates how the Combined Tchebycheff/Reference Point Procedure [8] can be installed in a decision support system for solving multiple criteria trajectory optimization problems. With such problems often presenting difficult modeling and solution procedure challenges, the Combined Procedure is employed because it gives good direction while providing substantial user control. The approach of this paper is futuristic in that it explores the use of polyscreen workstations (up to six screens) in order to facilitate man/machine communications at each iteration. A multiple criteria multi-time period production planning problem is used to illustrate the decision making approach.
