Abstract
As we pointed out in chapter 4, the first requirement of the VERT-3 process is to define the decision situation to be analyzed and to specify its objectives. These specifications are usually accomplished by the executive or manager responsible for the decision and are subsequently given to the analyst for detailed network preparation and analysis. While managers are keenly interested in the results of the analysis, they are usually not involved directly in the stages that intervene between definition of the situation and results of the network analysis. This chapter describes the network construction principles and the logic involved in turning the manager’s input into meaningful outputs for further analysis and decision making.
