An Overview of Current Solution Methods and Modelling Practices in Goal Programming

  • Chapter
Multi-Objective Programming and Goal Programming

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 432))

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the current state-of-the-art methods for modelling and solution of goal programming(GP) problems. Strategies for integrating these techniques into computerised software and thus specifications for producing an ‘intelligent’ GP solution and analysis package are suggested. Some recent criticisms of GP are detailed, together with how these perceived problems can be alleviated by means of such a package.
