A NOTE ON CONSTRUCTING INFLUENCE DIAGRAMS Influence diagrams were devised as a way to graphically depicting the relationship between several elements that can affect the results of a decision. The diagram can be used as a basis for creating computer-based models that describe a system or as descriptions of mental models managers use to assess the impact of their actions, see Senge (4 ). For more information on influence diagrams see Bodily et al (1) ; Bossel(2); or Plane(3). This note explains

examples as appropriate. Goal programming is an aid for decision-making problems with multiple, possibly conflicting goals. Typically, linear goal programming attempts to minimize a weighted sum of deviations from goals. This program is used in real-world business in an attempt to eliminate or, at the least, mitigate this disquieting disconnect. Goal programming is the most widely applied tool of multiple-objective optimization/multicriteria decision making. However, today’s goal programming models, methods
