Abstract:
Many management system engineering ideas and theories have evolved to help businesses grow and achieve their goals. Applying these ideas and theories to a business system is a strategic planning issue and results in a bewildering array of strategic alternatives for business system improvement. Choosing the appropriate alternatives is a complex and difficult decision. The most appropriate strategic alternative must be executable. To be executable the strategic alternative must not only be technically feasible, but must also overcome social and cultural obstructions. This research presents a planning approach to select the most appropriate strategic alternative and to plan its implementation. The planning approach is built on a planning framework synthesized from previous research. This framework involves the following planning functions: 1. Determine business strategic alternatives 2. Acquire business knowledge 3. Shape business for strategic advantage 4. Implement plan - operational engagement The planning approach uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Project Management Tools (PMT) and Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to implement these functions and plan business improvements. This research demonstrates that rational hierarchies appropriate for strategic alternatives analysis using AHP can be constructed. Business scenarios are used to show that AHP method prioritizes alternative strategies differently under different business circumstances. In addition, the data generated by the AHP can be aggregated into statements of work and input into DSM to generate a project plan to implement organizational design changes and achieve strategic intent.

Abstract:
The research work presented in this dissertation relates to lot sizing and its applications in the areas of operational planning and shop floor scheduling and control. Lot sizing enables a proper loading of requisite number of jobs on the machines in order to optimize the performance of an underlying production system. We address lot sizing problems that are encountered at the order entry level as well as those that are faced at the time of distributing the jobs from one machine to another and those that arise before shipping the jobs (orders) to customers. There are different issues and performance measures involved during each of these scenarios, which make the lot sizing problems encountered in these scenarios different from one another. We present algorithms and relevant theoretical analyses for each of the lot sizing problems considered, and also, present results of numerical experimentation to depict their effectiveness We first study the lot sizing problem encountered while transferring jobs from one machine to another. A lot of the jobs is to be split into smaller lots (called sublots) such that the lot is processed on multiple machines in an overlapping manner, a process which is known in the literature as lot streaming. Two lot streaming problems, FL2/n/C and FLm/1/C, are investigated in Chapter 2. FL2/n/C involves a two-machine flow shop in which multiple lots are to be processed. The objective is to minimize the combined cost of makespan and material handling (the latter is proportional to the number of sublots). A dynamic programming-based methodology is developed to determine the optimal sublot sizes and the number of sublots for each lot while assuming a known sequence in which to process the lots. We designate this problem as LSP-DP. This methodology is, then, extended to determine an optimal sequence in which to process the lots in conjunction with the number of sublots and sublot sizes for each lot. We designate this problem as LSSP-DP. Three multidimensional heuristic search procedures (denoted as LSSP-Greedy, LSSP-Cyclic and LSSP-ZP) are proposed for this problem in order to obtain good-quality solutions in a reasonable amount of computational time. Our experimentation reveals that both lot streaming and lot sequencing generate significant benefits, if used alone. However, for the objective of minimizing total handling and makespan cost, lot streaming is more beneficial than lot sequencing. The combined use of lot streaming and sequencing, expectedly, results in the largest improvement over an initial random solution. LSP-DP is found to be very efficient, and so are the three LSSP heuristics, all of which are able to generate near-optimal solutions. On the average, LSSP-Greedy generates the best solutions among the three, and LSSP-Cyclic requires the least time. FLm/1/C deals with the streaming of a single lot over multiple machines in a flow shop. The objective is a unified cost function that comprises of contributions due to makespan, mean flow time, work-in-process, transfer time and setup time. The distinctive features of our problem pertain to the inclusion of sublot-attached setup time and the fact that idling among the sublots of a lot is permitted. A solution procedure that relies on an approximation equation to determine sublot size is developed for this problem for equal-size sublots. The approximation avoids the need for numerical computations, and enables the procedure to run in polynomial time. Our experimentation shows that this solution procedure performs quite well and frequently generates the optimal solution. Since the objective function involves multiple criteria, we further study the marginal cost ratios of various pairs of the criteria, and propose cost sensitivity indices to help in estimating the impact of marginal cost values on the number of sublots obtained. The lot sizing problem addressed in Chapter 3 is motivated by a real-life setting associated with semiconductor manufacturing. We first investigate the integration of lot sizing (at the operational planning level) and dispatching (at the scheduling and control level) in this environment. Such an integration is achieved by forming a closed-loop control system between lot sizing and dispatching. It works as follows: lot sizing module determines lot sizes (loading quota) for each processing buffer based on the current buffer status via a detailed linear programming model. The loading quotas are then used by the dispatching module as a general guideline for dispatching lots on the shop floor. A dispatching rule called â largest-remaining-quota-firstâ (LRQ) is designed to drive the buffer status to its desired level as prescribed by the lot sizing module. Once the buffer status is changed or a certain amount of time has passed, loading quotas are updated by the lot sizing module. Our experimentation, using the simulation of a real-life wafer fab, reveals that the proposed approach outperforms the existing practice (which is based on â first-in-first-outâ (FIFO) model and an ad-hoc lot sizing method). Significant improvements are obtained in both mean values and standard deviations of the performance metrics, which include finished-goods inventory, backlog, throughput and work-in-process. The integration of lot sizing and dispatching focuses on the design of an overall production system architecture. Another lot sizing problem that we present in Chapter 3 deals with input control (or workload control) that complements this architecture. Input control policies are responsible for feeding the production system with the right amount of work and at the right time, and are usually divided into â pushâ or â pullâ categories. We develop a two-phase input control methodology to improve system throughput and the average cycle time of the lots. In phase 1, appropriate operational lot sizes are determined with regard to weekly demand, so as to keep the lot start rate at the desired level. In phase 2, a â pullâ policy, termed CONLOAD, is applied to keep the bottleneckâ s workload at a target level by releasing new lots into the system whenever the workload level is below the desired level. Since the operators are found to be the bottleneck of the system in our preliminary investigation, the â operator workloadâ is used as system workload in this study. Using throughput and cycle time as the performance metrics, it is shown that this two-phase CONLOAD methodology achieves significant improvement over the existing CONWIP-like policy. Furthermore, a reference table for the target operator workload is established with varying weekly demand and lot start rate. The last lot sizing problem that we address has to do with the integration of production and shipping operations of a make-to-order manufacturer. The objective is to minimize the total cost of shipping and inventory (from manufacturerâ s perspective) as well as the cost of earliness and tardiness of an order (from customerâ s perspective). An integer programming (IP) model is developed that captures the key features of this problem, including production and delivery lead times, multiple distinct capacitated machines and arbitrary processing route, among others. By utilizing the generalized upper bound (GUB) structure of this IP model, we are able to generate a simplified first-level RLT (Reformulation Linearization Technique) relaxation that guarantees the integrity of one set of GUB variables when it is solved as a linear programming (LP) problem. This allows us to obtain a tighter lower bound at a node of a branch-and-bound procedure. The GUB-based RLT relaxation is complemented by a GUB identification procedure to identify the set of GUB variables that, once restricted to integer values, would result in the largest increment in the objective value. The tightening procedure described above leads to the development of a RLT-based branch-and-bound algorithm. Our experimentation shows that this algorithm is able to search the branch-and-bound tree more efficiently, and hence, generates better solutions in a given amount of time.

Power Centrality, a measure of node importance within a network, is borrowed from the field of Social Network Analysis and applied to the assessment of Urban Hierarchy. Based on the overlaps of human activity between places, Power Centrality is tried as a method for measuring a particular feedback property: How well connected are places to other well connected places. In this research Power Centrality is used to assess a recent model of Urban Structure: The Splintering Urbanism Theory of Graham and Marvin (2001). This theory posits that the contemporary city is a fragmented agglomeration of isolated urban pieces, where distant but valuable fragments are highly connected between them, bypassing their less valuable surroundings. The causal explanation provided by Graham and Marvin is centered on their concept of premium networks: Networks customized for valuable (users in terms of income or power). The reach of this theory is assessed by studying the case of a mass transit system in a developing country: The Metro or subway of Santiago de Chile. The spatial hypothesis of Graham and Marvin is tested empirically through the use of the Power Centrality Measure, applied to a dataset of 242.000 twitter statuses generated by Metro users, while the causal explanation is evaluated by comparing the results with an unbiased sample of 110,000 statuses. Power Centrality allowed the identification of central locations that by standard measures of spatial concentration would have remained undetected. Furthermore, the results evidenced how Metro could be acting as a mass public bypass that connects these emergent centralities, challenging the concept of premium networks posited by Graham and Marvin.

Abstract:
Tourism is an important economic activity in our country as it is all around the world. It is also defined as an industry which is related to other economical sectors. Therefore, governments need to manage, develop and market the tourism facilities so that tourism industry can help economical growth effectively. Tourism planning means to manage large amount of data. Therefore, it is desirable to integrate Geographic Information Systems and also Remote Sensing to planning. The aim of the thesis is to define how to increase the contributions of GIS for site selection purposes for new tourism types. The case study is chosen as Bodrum Peninsula that is the hearth of Turkey in tourism sector. The fast and unplanned tourism development is causing some problems in nature, transportation, social and technical infrastructure of Bodrum. Summer houses, hotels, holiday villages are built up increasingly, so a huge difference occurs between winter (97.000) and summer (1.500.000) populations, which produce one of the reasons for problems. In this study, new tourism types, which are camping, caravanning, grass-skiing, site-parachuting and biking activities, are suggested in Bodrum Peninsula. Site selection process for these types is performed according to the requirements defined by the Youth and Sport Association. Slope, aspect, and proximity analyses are performed in order to find the suitable areas for each tourism type. Then, analytical hierarchy process technique is used to give weight to each criterion to emphasize their effects. Finally, site selection results are compared with the environmental plan.

Al-Fawaz, Khaled. "Investigating enterprise resource planning adoption and implementation in service sector organisations." Thesis, Brunel University, 2012. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/10078.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) adoption and implementation in Service Sector Organisations (SSOs). ERP is a business management system that has emerged to support organisations to use a system of integrated applications to enhance their Information Technology (IT) infrastructures, enhance business processes and deliver high quality of services. Regardless of the fact that several other sector organisations have adopted and implemented ERP systems, its application in SSOs is rather inadequate. Among other reasons, two core rationales can be attributed to the latter fact – firstly, SSOs lack the sufficient knowledge, expertise and training to implement such sophisticated integrated systems and secondly, the top management lacks the ability to take appropriate decisions for ERP adoption and implementation. However, merely focusing on a number of factors influencing ERP adoption and implementation may not be suffice, as there is a need for a systematic decision-making process for adopting and implementing ERP systems in SSOs. The limited number of ERP systems’ applications in SSOs has resulted in inadequate research in this area with many issues, like its adoption and implementation requiring further exploration. Despite, the implications of ERP systems have yet to be assessed in SSOs, leaving ample scope for relevance and producing a unique piece of research work. Thus, the author demonstrates that it is of high importance to investigate this area within SSOs and contribute towards successful ERP adoption and implementation. This thesis makes a step forward and contributes to the body of knowledge as it: investigates factors influencing the decision-making process for ERP adoption and implementation in SSOs, prioritises the importance of factors influencing ERP adoption and implementation, evaluates ERP lifecycle phases and stages, maps the ERP factors on different phases and stages of the ERP lifecycle, and in doing so, to propose a model for ERP adoption and implementation in SSOs. The author claims that such an ERP adoption and implementation process in SSOs is significant and novel as: it extends established norms for ERP adoption and implementation, by including Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique for prioritising the importance of factors, thus, facilitating SSOs to produce more robust proposals for ERP adoption and implementation. The author further assess the proposed ERP adoption and implementation model by using a qualitative, interpretive, multiple case study research strategy. Findings from two case studies demonstrate that such a systematic approach contributes towards more robust decisions for ERP adoption and implementation and indicates that it is acceptable by the case study organisations. The thesis proposes, assesses and presents a novel model for ERP adoption and implementation in SSOs and contributes to the body of knowledge by extending the literature.

Pour permettre au systeme et a son utilisateur de cooperer, le raisonnement du systeme doit etre facilement comprehensible par l'utilisateur et, inversement, l'utilisateur doit pouvoir aisement communiquer son propre raisonnement au systeme. Pour cela, une modelisation des connaissances et du processus de resolution des problemes par planification hierarchique est proposee. Cette modelisation repose essentiellement sur le concept de tache. Une tache permet de representer un probleme a resoudre sur differents niveaux d'abstraction et de lui associer une strategie de resolution par decomposition recursive en sous-taches de plus en plus elementaires. Une telle modelisation permet en meme temps: - de faire gerer efficacement le processus de resolution par le systeme. La planification hierarchique permet d'alterner des phases de planification et d'execution. De cette facon, la strategie appliquee peut etre adaptee de facon opportuniste a l'etat de resolution courant. - d'etablir une cooperation entre le systeme et son utilisateur.

Abstract:
A proposta deste trabalho é apresentar o Processo Analítico Hierárquico e demonstrar que sua utilização é válida para a construção da Avaliação de Custos Completos. Também é proposta deste texto apresentar o programa Decision Lens que implementa tal teoria. Outro objetivo desta dissertação é desenvolver e aplicar um método de Avaliação de Custos Completos estimada pelos Envolvidos-Interessados chegando-se até o ranking de recursos energéticos e comparando-o com o ranking da valoração determinística. Para se justificar a validade e viabilidade do Processo Analítico Hierárquico dentro da Avaliação de Custos Completos explica-se a teoria que o embasa. É também desenvolvido um exemplo onde todos os cálculos são feitos manualmente, até se chegar ao ranking de recursos energéticos finais. O mesmo exercício é desenvolvido no programa Decision Lens, comparando-se, assim, o resultado do exemplo manual com o exemplo desenvolvido no programa e validando-o. Para o desenvolvimento e aplicação de um método de Avaliação de Custos Completos valorado pelos Envolvidos-Interessados são realizadas atividades dentro do projeto FAPESP PIR Araçatuba. O processo de construção da árvore de decisão, com os sub-atributos e recursos energéticos considerados e de obtenção de dados da região piloto são conduzidos no decorrer deste trabalho. A inserção destes dados no programa, bem como a apresentação dos resultados com análise de sensibilidade, são feitas e discutidas. Também é conduzida a confecção da tabela de valores e de seus ratings para a Avaliação de Custos Completos estimada deterministicamente com a inserção dos dados e com a apresentação dos resultados. Por fim, é realizada a comparação do resultado das duas Avaliações de Custos Completos, comentando-se as diferenças e similaridades existentes, mostrando que o resultado de uma é compatível com o resultado da outra.
The purpose of this work is to introduce the Analytic Hierarchy Process and to demonstrate that its use in the Full Cost Accounting Evaluation is valid. The Decision Lens software, which implements the theory, is also introduced. Besides, it has been taken into consideration the objective of developing and applying a method of Full Cost Accounting assessed by the Stakeholders, reaching the ranking of energetic resources and comparing it to the deterministic valuation. In order to justify the validity and feasibility of the Analytic Hierarchy Process within the Full Cost Accounting Evaluation environment, the theory on which it is based has been thoroughly and carefully explained. To that effect, an example has been developed, in which all calculations are done manually up to the definition of the final ranking of energetic resources. The same example is also developed using the Decision Lens software, thus comparing both, the manual and the software results, in order to validate the consistency of the software itself. In order to develop and to apply a method of Full Cost Accounting assessed by the Stakeholders, certain activities have been carried out within the FAPESP IRP project in Araçatuba. The process of building the decision tree and obtaining data from the pilot region, considering sub-criteria and energy resources, has been conducted along the execution of this work. The pertinent software data input, as well as the presentation of results along with a sensitivity analysis have been performed and discussed. The determination of the table of values and its ratings for the Full Cost Accounting deterministically valued has been conducted, as well as the pertinent data insertion along with respective results. Finally, the comparison of results of the two Full Cost Accounting have been made. Their differences and similarities have also been commented, proving that results were compatible.

Abstract:
Development of goals (desired future conditions (DFCs)) based on substantial public involvement is critical to the success of ecosystem management on public lands. I evaluated DFCs of riparian areas on national forests in the southern Appalachian mountains and evaluated a process for involving the public in development of DFCs for riparian areas on the Jefferson National Forest. First, I identified the major components, structures, and functions that are essential to riparian health through a literature review. Second, I examined how the key components, structures, and functions identified in the literature review were addressed in the DFCs and standards and guidelines for eight southeastern national forest management plans. In reviewing forest plans, I found a clear shift from emphasizing water quality in older forest plans to a more comprehensive incorporation of the values and functions of riparian areas in more recent plans. Riparian attributes included in DFCs varied widely and disparities between DFCs for forest plans and measurable criteria in the standards and guidelines often occurred. Finally, I designed, tested, and evaluated a public involvement process that identified public values for use in the development of DFCs for riparian areas on the Jefferson National Forest. I used a combination of alternative dispute resolution techniques and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a participatory decision-making tool. I used surveys before and after the riparian meetings to evaluate the effectiveness of the public involvement process. Survey respondents generally were middle-aged, well-educated, high-income males who were long-time residents of the area. Riparian meeting participants indicated that the DFC for riparian areas on the JNF should strongly emphasize water quality and quantity, protection of riparian-dependent species and their habitats, and maintenance of the integrity of the relationship between riparian areas and the surrounding environment. Participants indicated recreational and commodity uses of riparian areas could occur as long as they did not negatively affect the other, more highly valued characteristics of riparian areas. Participants felt that the meetings were fair, that diverse interests were represented, that they had enough information to participate in the process, and that it was a wise use of their time.

Abstract:
During the manufacturing planning, multiple variants of process chains for the manufacturing of a product to be developed are generated by engineers. In order to select an optimal variant, multiple decision criteria specifying technical, ecological and economical properties of the process chains as well as multiple assessments of different domain experts have to be taken into account. The contribution of this article is a two-step approach that provides a multi-criteria multi-expert assessment of manufacturing process chains supporting the selection of an optimal process chain. A web-based software tool that implements the multi-criteria assessment of process chains is also presented.

The research work is organized into three major phases. The first one defines the algorithm of analysis of the context energy of the country and its evolution towards a future energy scenario based on renewable energies. A second phase which analyzes the best configurations of hybrid renewable systems capable of responding to energy needs in the area, sorting them based on their net present value. And a third one introducing the method of multi-criteria analysis which allows to select, from among all possible configurations identified in the previous stage, the most appropriate to the needs and characteristics of the area to study, taking into account not only economic or technical aspects, but also sociological, political, and environmental criteria. Finally, the developed methodology is applied to a case concrete as example of its potential. An isolated community in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been selected since 90% of the population living in areas isolated from the mains, and being one of the African countries with the greatest potential for renewable energy generation.

Abstract:
This paper examines how green areas may be used as strategic recovery zones in the event of an earthquake and how these zones may strengthen the resilience for future quakes in Istanbul. The paper also refers to investigating why the planning system in Turkey can pose a threat for the provision of green areas. Green areas have proven to be an important feature in natural disaster stricken cities for coping with disasters by strengthening the city’s resilience. However due to rapid population growth and high demand for housing and infrastructure, green areas risk disappearing when the city expands. This problem is evident all major cities of turkey and particularly in the country’s largest city Istanbul, where green areas are benign exploited instead of preserved; leaving larger city’s such as Istanbul vulnerable for future earthquake disasters. The high demand for new housing and functioning infrastructure in conjunction with a complicated planning system in Turkey leads to a vaguely regulated planning system, which creates a threat to green areas. This creates an uncertain situation for the city's ability and resilience to withstand a future earthquake disaster. The study will be based on a qualitative method. The empirical material will be presented through a previous research overview and a case study, which is also based on previous research on the subject. Essay analysis will be performed based on a quantitative text analysis based on concepts; urban disaster resilience, green infrastructure, land use planning and governance, presented in the essays theoretical framework. The general conclusions of the study are that there is a lack of good governance in the planning system in Turkey, which creates restrictions for a sustainable and resilient urban planning in the city of Istanbul. Green areas are resilience and capacity building areas in the city to handle future earthquake disaster, by providing open recovery zones in a densely built city. It is therefore important to plan for a long-term land use and to regard the green areas in the city to uphold strong urban disaster resilience for future earthquakes in Istanbul.

Abstract:
Despite the growing movement of the share of renewable sources in the global energy matrix, the weight of sources such as natural gas, coal and petroleum derivatives is considerably significant. In this respect, the need for diversification of the energy matrix is evident and urgent, mainly due to the growing demand for energy, and requires appropriate planning of the matrix transition process in order to attend the growing demand on a sustainable basis and in a balanced way. Being the Distributed Generation (DG) a viable and real alternative to contribute to this scenario favorably, beyond the amount of intrinsic variables to DG that can impact positively or negatively on the electrical system, the development of methods and tools to support the usual techniques of planning need to be reviewed. In this sense, it is proposed in this study a methodology for mapping and prioritizing of DG sources from renewable resources, to support the new perspective of distribution planning. The focus is given to the wind power, photovoltaic, hydro and biomass, dealt in the current literature as the most promising for diversification of energy sources. The methodology includes the realization of a mapping of available energy resources in an enclosed area for study, indicating the most favorable places of exploitation. Documents already established concerning energy potential, such as atlas and energy balances, are used as reference information for the mapping. Once mapped the resources available, it is estimated the energy capacity that they represent, through methods and equations which consider the main variables to estimate the potential of each source. The methodology also includes a step of prioritization of mapped sources from multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria, to indicate the best form of participation of them in two different perspectives of analysis. The first one under the point of view of electric utilities, with the focus on the potential use to support the system expansion and operation, and the second one from the perspective of investors, aimed at exploitation the potential for expansion of its generation mix. For the multi-criteria approach of prioritizing the sources it is used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The modeling is applied as a case study from the area of operation of a electric utility in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Apesar do movimento crescente da participação de renováveis na matriz energética global, o peso de fontes como gás natural, carvão e derivados do petróleo é consideravelmente significativo. Neste aspecto, a necessidade de diversificação da matriz elétrica é notória e urgente, principalmente pela demanda crescente por energia, e requer um planejamento adequado do processo de transição da matriz, de modo a atender o crescimento de demanda em bases sustentáveis e de forma equilibrada. Sendo a Geração Distribuída (GD) uma alternativa viável e concreta para contribuir favoravelmente com esse cenário, e ainda, considerando a quantidade de variáveis intrínsecas à GD que podem impactar positiva ou negativamente no sistema elétrico, o desenvolvimento de métodos e ferramentas para suporte às técnicas usuais de planejamento precisam ser revistos. Neste sentido, propõe-se nesse estudo uma metodologia para mapeamento e priorização de fontes de GD a partir de recursos renováveis para suporte à nova ótica de planejar a distribuição. O foco é dado para as fontes eólica, fotovoltaica, hídrica e biomassa, abordadas na literatura atual como as mais promissoras para diversificação da matriz energética. A metodologia contempla a realização de um mapeamento dos recursos energéticos disponíveis em uma área delimitada para estudo, indicando os pontos mais favoráveis de aproveitamento. Utilizam-se como referências de informações para o mapeamento, documentos já consolidados relativos ao potencial energético, tais como, atlas e balanços energéticos. Uma vez mapeado os recursos disponíveis, estima-se a capacidade energética que os mesmos representam, através de métodos e equacionamentos que consideram as variáveis principais de estimação do potencial de cada fonte. A metodologia contempla ainda a etapa de priorização das fontes mapeadas, a partir de múltiplos critérios de ordem quantitativa e qualitativa, de modo a indicar a melhor forma de participação das fontes em duas perspectivas distintas de análise. A primeira sob o ponto de vista da distribuidora, com o foco no aproveitamento do potencial para suporte à expansão e operação do sistema, e a segunda sob a ótica dos investidores, voltada para o aproveitamento do potencial para expansão do seu mix de geração. Para a abordagem multicritério de priorização das fontes utiliza-se o método Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). A modelagem é aplicada a partir de um estudo de caso desenvolvido na área de atuação de uma distribuidora de energia do estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract:
Sustainable transport is now a popular goal of transport planning. As with any aspiration, systems and mechanisms are required to assess and gauge success in achieving this policy goal. There is increasing reliance on sustainable transport indicators as appropriate tools for this purpose. The usefulness and credibility of any indicator-based assessment will undoubtedly depend on the specific indicators utilised. As such, indicators must be selected carefully to maximise their contribution to the sustainable transport decision making process. A review of current applications of sustainable transport indicators has revealed however, that they are typically selected in an ad hoc and arbitrary fashion. Development of a framework that facilitates transparent and systematic indicator selection would therefore represent a significant advance in transport research. In that regard, this thesis presents the Evaluative and Logical Approach to Sustainable Transport Indicator Compilation (ELASTIC), a methodological framework which provides a flexible, participatory and systematic mechanism for identifying and selecting key sustainable transport indicators. The output of ELASTIC is the Transport Sustainability Profile (TSP), a small un-aggregated suite of sustainable transport indicators which together can provide a snapshot of the sustainability of a transport system. Using various multi-criteria and statistical techniques, ELASTIC applies a robust process to evaluate and select indicators based on their analytical soundness and their relevance to key objectives of sustainable transport. A generic and transferable tool, ELASTIC is capable of application at different geographical scales as well as to non-transport sustainability assessment. For the purpose of this research, the framework is demonstrated through application to England, UK where the judgements of relevant Academics and Transport Planners are elicited and entered into the ELASTIC framework to systematically select a subset of 15 indicators from an initial set of 200. By disaggregating the sample of stakeholders into regional groupings, different context-specific suites of indicators for the regional groupings were also derived. The demonstration confirms ELASTIC to be an inclusive and practical approach to compiling a suite of sustainable transport indicators specific to context and which reflects the unique values of key stakeholders.

The advancement of Information and Communication Technology has required high and increasing investments in information systems and technological infrastructure. In this context, management systems are strategic for companies, because they bring with them practices, resources and functionalities capable of creating or even destroying competitive differential in companies. Thus, selecting a system appropriate to the needs and expectations of organizations is a costly, time-consuming and difficult task, since a broad set of criteria that exceed functionalities, such as support for strategic development; the costs; growth; the expansion of the business and the qualification of the supplier regarding the evolution of the product, technology, consultants and technical support, should be considered in the acquisition of the systems. This work presents a structured approach to software acquisition supported by the Analytic Hierarchy Process, whose objective is to support the acquisition of Enterprise Resource Planning systems, considering the various criteria present in these projects. Its application is demonstrated from a case study and the results achieved indicated a classification among the candidate suppliers, indicating that the presented approach has the potential to be applied in several types of organizations

Abstract:
The German government is experiencing difficulties housing and assimilating Syrian refugees in its borders. Erecting temporary shelters on location is one way to deal with the current crises. This thesis attempts to use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the optimum combination of materials and construction methods to be used in the shelter’s walls in order to improve the living conditions of the refugees and to ensure that the cost is acceptable to the German government. This thesis compares six existing wall panel products from China, which have the lowest cost on the worldwide market. The R-value, strength, price, weight, durability, ease of assembly, assembly time, maintenance costs, comfort, resale value, and appearance were evaluated. Assumptions were made on what the German government would require and on standard building practices in Europe and America. The analysis indicates that the steel frame house from YONGYANG Steel best satisfies the needs in this situation. This thesis produced an AHP template, which is flexible. This model that was developed for the German scenario can be effectively applied to differing emergent situations in other parts of the world.

Abstract:
Since 1960s, the scope of urban design broadened in a way that to control the formation process of urban space as a whole. In this respect urban coding became a distinct branch in urban planning as an integrating mechanism of planning and design processes. Thus, design control has become a crucial part of the development control systems especially in the western countries. Although the development legislation in Turkey as an urban coding system has various weaknesses about urban design and design control, it provides important tools to control urban form from macro scale to micro scale. Aim of this study is to analyze the capabilities and deficiencies of the development legislation in Turkey as a design control system. The mostly stated complaint about the planned areas in the cities of Turkey is the loss of diversity and peculiar character of settlements as a result of the homogenization of their spatial pattern, namely apartmentalization. This problem is basically related with the exclusion of urban design from the planning process. The planning approach in Turkey merely oriented to readjustment of property appropriate to small-scale development, ignoring the concerns in regard to urban design. Therefore, beyond a technical fault resulting from the legislation, this is an outcome iv of the way legal tools are used that does not realize the value of potentia l possibilities in the legislation. However, if the legal tools are used efficiently in an approach that bring the considerations of urban design into fore, it might be possible to come out with more satisfactory environments in terms of diversity and richness of urban space. This is the basic hypothesis examined in this study. In this context, firstly the relation between urban coding and design is investigated in its historical development and a hierarchical model for design control is defined. Then the development legislation in Turkey is evaluated in the frame of this model. Finally, territorial hierarchy of space is taken up as a design criterion and the capacity of legal tools in control of the transitional zones, which are critical elements of territorial hierarchy, is examined.

Abstract:
In an ever-changing world as ours, the population increases rapidly. There will be great challenges for urban planning when it comes to finding effective, optimized and sustainable solutions. The city planners must find the most optimal way of land usage and one way of reaching this can be obtained through a land-suitability analysis. Land-suitability analysis can be described as a combination of both Geographic information system (GIS) and Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and is used to obtain the most optimal position for a specific land usage, e.g. residential areas. GIS and MCA can both be used separately but can also be used as described in a combination. The aim of this study is to compare two different municipalities, Nordanstig and Sundsvall, and how the weighting of social functions in planning housing projects differs in them. Another purpose is to compare two different MCA weighting methods and how they affect the final results. The methods used were Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Fuzzy AHP (FAHP). Using the output of the poll and the interviews from the representatives of the two municipalities weights were computed. The purpose of the study is to find suitable locations where residential areas can be built. The result of the study shows that the officials ranked the weights of the social functions in a new residential area differently. The respondent from Sundsvall ranks public transportation as the most important factor, while the respondent from Nordanstig ranks larger road/railway the highest. The final results end up in the same urban areas in both AHP and Fuzzy AHP methods. The main differences between them are the sizes of the areas and their exact extents. The biggest area was achieved through Sundsvall’s FAHP weighting and was located in the urban area of Gnarp. The area was about 118.5 hectare in size. To check whether the results can be considered appropriate a sensitivity analysis has been performed, using inverted weights taken from the poll and the interviews.
I en värld där befolkningen ökar kraftigt och är i ständig förändring, där ställs samhället och dess beslutsfattare inför stora utmaningar. En av dessa utmaningar är att planera samhällen på ett effektivt och optimerat sätt, som även innefattar hållbara lösningar. Med en strävan att på bästa sätt använda marken i staden, samhället och landet så kan en lämplighetsanalys användas. En lämplighetsanalys är en kombination av att använda Geografisk informationssystem (GIS) och multikriterieanalys (MKA) för att få fram den mest lämpliga platsen som för exempel ett bostadsområde. Både GIS och MKA är var för sig viktiga delar i samhället som även kan användas i kombination. Studiens syfte är att jämföra två kommuner, Nordanstig och Sundsvalls kommun, och deras olika viktning av samhällsfunktioner vid bostadsplanering. Det andra syftet är att jämföra hur två olika MKA metoder påverkar de slutliga resultaten. De två olika metoderna är Analytisk hierarkisk process (AHP) och Fuzzy AHP. Med hjälp av enkät och intervjuer av representanterna från kommunerna så tas vikter fram. De tillfrågade var tjänstemän från de två kommunerna, en från vardera kommunen. Målet med studien är att få fram områden där bostadsområden kan byggas, med hjälp av en multikriterieanalys. En bostadsplanering som tar in hållbarhets aspekter tidigt strävar mot att bidra till ett miljövänligare samhälle, aspekter som busshållplatser och park och fritid. Resultatet visar att de olika tjänstemännen rangordnar kriterierna olika på vad som är viktigast när det kommer till samhällsfunktioner i ett nytt bostadsområde. Representanten från Sundsvall rangordnar Kollektivtrafiken högst och representanten från Nordanstig rangordnar Större väg/järnväg högst. Slutresultatet visar att placering av bostadsområdet hamnar vid AHP metoden ungefär vid samma orter som vid Fuzzy AHP metoden. Det som skiljer är storleken på de olika områden och deras mer exakta utbredning. Det största området blir enligt Sundsvall viktning till FAHP och beläget i tätorten Gnarp, ytan blir då ca 118,5 ha stor. För att kontrollera om resultatet kan anses vara lämpligt har en känslighetsanalys gjorts, genom inverterade vikter tagna från enkäten och intervjuerna.

Abstract:
O avanço da economia brasileira e o amadurecimento dos mercados induzem a crescente competitividade nos diferentes setores. Com isso, as corporações buscam por maneiras de investir com maior produtividade de modo a direcionar recursos nas suas atividades fins para desenvolvimento e expansão do negocio principal. Os ativos imobiliários são um dos recursos mais onerosos para muitas empresas, que ainda imobilizam recursos nesses ativos de longo prazo de maturação. É incipiente a percepção das empresas brasileiras em relação às perdas de oportunidade de ganho com os investimentos que são internados nas suas bases instaladas. Nesse contexto, a tese trata da configuração de um método para analise da oportunidade de imobilização e desmobilização em imóveis corporativos sob a ótica das corporações usuárias, por meio da identificação de critérios qualitativos e quantitativos (econômico-financeiros) relevantes a analise, considerando (i) os mecanismos diretos e indiretos atualmente empregados no Brasil, (ii) a sustentação legal, (iii) as praticas tributarias e contábeis, e (iv) as praticas prevalentes de mercado. Os critérios de decisão do método são priorizados pelos administradores das corporações com auxilio de uma ferramenta para analise hierárquica de decisão (Analytic Hierarchy Process - AHP), que indica a alternativa mais adequada entre as opções de imobilização ou não no real estate para cada situação. O método desenvolvido nesta tese pode ser uma importante ferramenta de apoio para as diretrizes de governança corporativa no que tange as decisões em relação ao portfolio de real estate das corporações, podendo ser utilizado por empresas com atuação nos diferentes setores da economia, tais como: manufatura, serviços, varejo, entre outros, inclusive no setor publico.
The development of the Brazilian economy and the maturity of the markets have prompted growing competition within different sectors. In this context corporations tend to find ways to invest more productively by focusing on their main activities in an effort to enhance their core business. Real estate assets are generally one of the companies\' greatest expenses; even so, companies still invest in these long-term maturity assets. It is still incipient the perception of Brazilian companies as regards the opportunity costs incurred by them as a result of investing in real estate assets. In view of the foregoing, the thesis sets forth an analysis method to guide the decision whether to invest or not in real estate assets from the perspective of corporate users. The analysis is based on qualitative and quantitative attributes by taking in account (i) both direct and indirect procedures currently used in Brazil, (ii) the legal framework, (iii) the tax and accounting practices, and (iv) the prevalent market practices. The method\'s decision criteria are prioritized by the corporations` officers through the AHP tool (Analytic Hierarchy Process), which indicates the most appropriate decision in each situation. The method herein developed may work as an important corporate governance guideline in the extent real estate portfolio decisions are taken by corporations, and it can be used by companies of different sectors, such as manufacturing, service, retail, among others, including the public sector.

Our country is a risky position in terms of natural disasters. In the long run, preferentially settlement areas were selected to ensure maximum benefits in terms of both economic and security aspects, other criteria is not taken account when selection of sites. The main purpose of this study is to examine and compare the properties of settlement location based on natural hazard and environmental constraints to be able to understand the interaction between the settlements and natural conditions at the regional scale of YeSilirmak Basin. A MCDA was set up with 10 different data layers in two data domains (environmental and natural hazards domains), are evaluated. The results of the MCDA scores are then transferred to settlement databases in order to evaluate the number of existing settlements in different environmental and natural hazard related suitability classes. It is found that almost 29% of YeSilirmak catchment is environmentally favorable for settlement, and in coherence with that 41% of all existing settlements are located in this zone, indicating a clear preference among the perception of environmentally better places to be settled in. On the other hand with respect to the natural hazards dataset, the locations of the settlements fail to create any preference, as 73,32% of the area is used by 73,50% of existing settlements, which indicates that the perception of natural hazards are low and do not effect settlement criteria, while the acceptable risk of community is high.

Abstract:
Le territoire est le support d’interactions entre les êtres vivants et leur espace de vie. Parmi ces interactions, il est aujourd’hui reconnu que les activités anthropiques sont une cause déterminante de l’érosion de la biodiversité. Dans ce contexte, la séquence « Eviter-Réduire-Compenser» (ERC) est un instrument réglementaire visant l’absence de perte nette de biodiversité (no net loss) en aménagement du territoire. Or, il semblerait qu’elle ne permette pas de remédier à la perte chronique de biodiversité. Au-delà de ses limites pratiques et théoriques, parmi les causes de cette inefficacité on peut mentionner : la focalisation sur la « compensation » et sur l’échelle « projet » ou encore la convergence des études vers la problématique des grands projets d’aménagement. Ainsi, en partant de questions issues du terrain, en adoptant une posture à l’interface entre recherche et action, et en choisissant une démarche pluridisciplinaire, cette thèse repose sur l’hypothèse que les difficultés actuelles sont liées à des défis scalaires et qu’un changement d’échelle spatiale, temporelle et fonctionnelle est nécessaire pour permettre à l’instrument de prétendre à son objectif. A travers une analyse qualitative et quantitative de l’application de la séquence ERC dans le cadre de petits projets d’aménagement, nous identifions une série de limites associées à l’échelle « projet ». Cela nous amène à analyser, tout d’abord théoriquement puis empiriquement grâce à l’étude de collectivités territoriales responsables de la planification de l’aménagement, les implications d’un changement d’échelle vers une mise en œuvre de la séquence ERC à l’échelle territoriale et stratégique de la planification. Enfin, nous conduisons une réflexion sur l’élaboration d’une démarche méthodologique d’anticipation de la séquence ERC dès la planification, appliquée au cas concret de Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole.In fine, ces recherches nous permettent d’apporter des compléments de réponse à la question des fins effectives de l’instrument : éviter ou plutôt légitimer la perte de biodiversité ? Nos propositions et perspectives pour les praticiens et les chercheurs vont dans le sens d’une mise en œuvre de la séquence ERC plus en phase avec son objectif de no net loss
Territory provides the support for interactions between humans avec their living environment. Among these interactions, it is well known that anthropic activities are a major cause of biodiversity erosion. In this respect, the mitigation hierarchy (avoidance, reduction and offsetting impacts) is a regulatory tool whose objective is to achieve a “no net loss” of biodiversity following urban development. However, the efficiency of the tool is questioned because of its practical and theoretical limits, and the recurring focus on biodiversity offsets and on the “project” scale, or the convergence of studies on large development projects.Based on questions arising from practical action and by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach and posture at the knowledge-action interface, this thesis hypothesizes that the current lack of efficiency is the result of a problem of scale and that a temporal, spatial and functional switch in scale could help the mitigation hierarchy to reach its objectives. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of the mitigation hierarchy implementation for small-scale development projects, we identify a set of limits associated with studies done at scale of individual projects. These findings illustrate the need to upscale towards a territorial and strategic approach to the implementation of the mitigation hierarchy. Finally, we initiate a reflexion on the development of a methodological framework to anticipate the mitigation hierarchy implementation at the urban planning stage, and we test it on the Montpellier metropolitan territory.Finally, these research studies provide new answers to the question of the effective purpose of the tool: is its aim to avoid or legitimise biodiversity loss? Our propositions and perspectives for practitioners and scientists are in line with a mitigation hierarchy implementation that is more likely to reach no net loss objectives

Abstract:
La biodiversité est confrontée à une érosion accélérée et est devenue une préoccupation environnementale mondiale ces dernières décennies. En France, la séquence Éviter–Réduire–Compenser (ERC) est un des outils réglementaires mis en place dans un contexte de destruction et de fragmentation des habitats d’espèces. Elle permet le développement des territoires tout en visant une absence de perte nette de biodiversité. Cependant, malgré les récentes évolutions réglementaires européennes et françaises, le triptyque ERC présente de nombreuses limites et enjeux d’ordre opérationnel. En positionnant nos travaux à l’interface entre recherche et opérationnalité, nous proposons un cadre méthodologique basé sur plusieurs approches de modélisation afin d’améliorer les processus d’évaluation et décisionnels aux différentes étapes d’aménagement, de la planification à l’opérationnel au moment de l’autorisation des projets. Dans une première partie du travail, nous intégrons les enjeux spatio-temporels de la biodiversité à l’ensemble de la séquence ERC, de l’évaluation des impacts potentiels au dimensionnement des mesures écologiques. À partir du cas précis de l’aménagement du Grand Stade de Lyon, nous montrons l’intérêt de combiner les modèles de distribution d’espèces et les graphes paysager pour identifier les réseaux écologiques et poser un cadre de calcul de l’équivalence écologique basé sur le volet fonctionnel de la biodiversité. Intégrer les dimensions spatiales et temporelles permet d’accroitre la connectivité des habitats et améliorer la conception des projets. Nous montrons ensuite qu’organiser la compensation à l’échelle des territoires en les intégrant aux réseaux écologiques améliore davantage les bénéfices et réduit le risque d’échecs des mesures. Notre démarche est présentée dans le contexte périurbain de l’Ouest de Lyon. Enfin, nous démontrons les implications d’une démarche anticipée et planifiée de la séquence ERC dans la planification stratégique des territoires. Pour cela, nous montrons dans le cadre de la Métropole de Toulouse l’intérêt d’étudier conjointement les dynamiques urbaines et écologiques pour mettre en place une stratégie de conservation de la biodiversité à l’horizon 2040 en assurant l’absence de perte nette sur les habitats d’espèces et leur connectivité selon différentes trajectoires d’urbanisation et de ratio de compensation. Cette thèse offre une approche globale pour orienter les décideurs et améliorer la prise en compte des fonctionnalités écologiques à différentes échelles spatiales et temporelles dans l’aménagement des territoires et l’application de la séquence ERC. Ce travail est basé sur des logiciels novateurs et accessibles pour tous les acteurs et constitue une contribution intéressante à l’appui des maitres d’ouvrage qui souhaitent s’assurer de l’absence d'effets significatifs ou irréversibles sur la biodiversité, et des autorités environnementales qui veillent à ce que l’ensemble des enjeux environnementaux soient bien pris en compte dans la conception des projets d’aménagement

The mitigation hierarchy (avoidance, reduction and offsetting of impacts) is a regulatory tool implemented in a context of habitat destruction and fragmentation, disrupting species’ life cycle. The objective is to achieve “no net loss” of biodiversity following urban development. Although biodiversity conservation regulations have recently better addressed ecosystem functioning, the mitigation hierarchy is still being implemented with little concern for the spatial configuration of ecosystems in the landscape. This thesis hypothesizes that the major difficulties encountered by stakeholders are, in part, methodological and technical. Situating our research at the knowledge-action interface, we propose a methodological framework based on several modeling approaches, to respond to the different scientific and operational challenges. This thesis joins forces with other scientific projects and stakeholders’ networks by exploring complementary axes. To this end, we first integrate spatio-temporal issues of biodiversity into overall mitigation hierarchy application, focusing on potential impacts and dimensioning at “territorial development project” scale through a case study on the new stadium in Lyon (Southern France). Combining species distributions models and spatial graphs improves habitat connectivity and therefore the design of the development projects. Next, we demonstrate the positive impacts on peri-urban habitat connectivity of pooling and anticipating offsets in the suburbs of Lyon. In the last part, we demonstrate the implications of an anticipated and planned approach to the mitigation hierarchy on a planning scale. We consider both ecological connectivity and urban dynamics, in an attempt to minimize the ecological impacts of urban sprawl by avoiding urbanization of areas of highest ecological value and then enhance the application of biodiversity offsetting. This method is tested on projections for the Toulouse conurbation (Southern France) by 2040. Thus, this thesis presents an overall approach that can help to increase habitat connectivity and to improve the design of territorial development projects at different spatial and temporal scales. This methodology is based on freeware available to all practitioners. It will serve planners, designers, and decision-makers needing to ensure that there are no significant or irreversible effects on biodiversity, and environmental authorities making sure that all environmental issues are taken into account in the design of development projects

Nos dias de hoje existe uma grande demanda e pressão na seleção e definição de prioridades das alternativas de investimento para alavancar o crescimento de longo prazo das empresas. Em paralelo a este cenário, o ambiente global está cada vez mais incerto, o que implica que as escolhas realizadas por estas empresas devem se adaptar aos novos desejos do mercado e, principalmente, devem manter o direcionamento de crescimento almejado pelas mesmas. Neste contexto conturbado, as ferramentas tradicionais utilizadas para a tomada de decisão, para selecionar e definir as prioridades são as análises econômico-financeira representadas pelo Valor Presente Líquido, a Taxa Interna de Retorno e o Payback. Apesar de estes itens serem métodos robustos e consistentes na avaliação de projetos de investimentos, eles focam apenas em um aspecto (o financeiro), e as empresas, atualmente, estão envolvidas em ambientes que precisam de uma abordagem mais ampla, contemplando outras visões e dimensões não presentes nos estudos financeiros. Ou seja, quando se faz uma análise de carteira de projetos alinhada ao planejamento estratégico, é necessário realizar uma abordagem multicritério envolvendo indicadores quantitativos e qualitativos e disponibilizando aos tomadores de decisão uma informação completa e padronizada de todos os projetos, uma vez que estas iniciativas não possuem características homogêneas, pois cada uma apresenta sua respectiva particularidade e, principalmente, está em diferentes estágios de maturidade. Aliado a estes pontos, é perceptível que o processo de seleção e priorização de projetos necessita de uma sistematização que garanta a esta decisão e a este Portfólio uma maior estabilidade e fidedignidade das informações. Neste trabalho, portanto, foi elaborada uma análise multivariada, mais especificamente, a utilização de sistemas de apoio à tomada de decisão. Foram escolhidos outros critérios além do econômico-financeiro, para suportar a seleção e priorização de projetos no atendimento dos objetivos estratégicos da organização e de seus stakeholders.
Currently, there is an enormous demand and pressure in selecting and defining priorities of investment projects to direct the long term growth in companies. In parallel to this scenario, the global environment continues to be uncertain which means that the choices executed by these companies must adapt to the new market desires and, mainly, keep the growth direction defined by them. In this hectic context, the traditional tools used to make decisions to select and define priorities are financial methods as Net Present Value, Internal Return Rates and Payback. Although these methods are robust and consistent in evaluating investment projects, these procedures are based only in one aspect which is financial, and the companies are involved in an environment that needs a broad approach considering other visions and dimensions which are not included in financial analysis, other words, when you perform a Portfolio analysis aligned with the strategic planning is necessary to head a multi-criteria approach which includes qualitative and quantitative performance indices providing to the decision makers comprehensive and standardized information for all projects, once these initiatives do not have homogeneous characteristics, as each initiative has its respective specificity, and they are in different stages of maturity. In addition to these points, it seems that the process of selecting and prioritizing projects requires a systematization to ensure to this decision and this Portfolio more stability and reliability of the information. In this study, therefore, it has been developed a multivariate analysis, more specifically, using systems to support decision making. It has been chosen criteria other than the economic-financial items, to support the selection and prioritization of projects meeting the strategic objectives of the organization and its stakeholders.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação trata de um processo metodológico a ser empregado na etapa de planejamento de rodovias que atravessam áreas urbanizadas. Estuda-se o desenvolvimento de uma análise multicriterial para a seleção de um melhor traçado para a futura rodovia, levando em consideração não apenas questões geométricas de engenharia, historicamente utilizadas para a definição de diretrizes rodoviárias, mas agregando quesitos cada vez mais importantes para a sociedade moderna, como as questões ambientais. Inicialmente realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica de algumas experiências internacionais e uma nacional, onde o estudo de alternativas considerou diversos aspectos, inclusive os ambientais, a fim de embasar a definição de um conjunto de critérios e indicadores para a análise e avaliação de alternativas de traçado. Posteriormente, com o apoio de especialistas rodoviários e ambientais estabeleceu-se um novo conjunto de critérios e indicadores de avaliação para a metodologia proposta. A seguir, o número de critérios e indicadores foi reduzido e revisto para a sua aplicação em um estudo de caso, em função dos dados disponíveis. Assim, o modelo proposto para análise e avaliação das alternativas de traçado foi desenvolvido em etapas sucessivas – desde a pesquisa bibliográfica até a disponibilização de dados – conformando um conjunto hierarquizado de critérios e indicadores. Realizou-se uma aplicação deste método (Estudo de Caso) ao estudo de alternativas de traçado de um trecho do Rodoanel Mario Covas, na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, através de entrevistas com diversos atores da sociedade e aplicação do Método de Auxílio à Tomada de Decisão denominado Método de Análise Hierárquica - MAH. Os resultados obtidos no estudo de caso apresentado permitem considerar o modelo proposto como válido para ser aplicado na etapa de planejamento de uma rodovia que atravessa área urbanizada, ensejando o início de uma avaliação de impactos ambientais em nível estratégico e preliminar, apontando os aspectos ambientais como os mais críticos e determinantes em um estudo de alternativas de traçado deste tipo. Assim, entende-se que as alternativas de traçado recomendadas através da aplicação do modelo proposto foram as que apresentaram impactos ambientais menos críticos, em conformidade com os julgamentos dos atores representantes dos diversos setores da sociedade envolvidos com o assunto.
This dissertation deals with a methodological process to be applied during the planning stage of urban expressways. A multicriterial analysis is proposed to select the most adequate alignment of the future highway, considering not only geometrical engineering factors, usually taken in account in highway design, but including other important questions of a modern society, such as the environmental ones. Initially, a bibliographical review was conducted involving international and brazilian experiences, where the study of alignment alternatives took in account several factors, including the environmental ones, in order to define a set of criteria and indicators to be used in the evaluation of different alternatives. Then, with the support of highway and environment specialists, a new set was proposed. Finally, the number of criteria and indicators was reviewed and reduced to conform to available data and applied in a case study. The model proposed to analyse and evaluate alignment alternatives was developed in successive stages – from bibliographical review to data collection – establishing a hierarchical set of criteria and indicators. This model was applied in a case study related to the study of alignment alternatives of the São Paulo Ring Road, through interviews with different agents and the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process – AHP. Results obtained indicated that the proposed model is suitable to be applied in the planning stage of an urban expressway, leading to strategic environmental impact assessment, and pointing environmental factors as the most critical and important ones in an alignment alternatives study. It is understood that the selected alternatives under this process are the ones that present less critical environmental impacts, according to judgements expressed by different agents from several society sectors involved with this matter.

Abstract:
More than ninety per cent of projects are run by project teams and the stronger the team the more likely the project will succeed. Team building activities are performed to both increase team performance and to enhance the likelihood of project success. For the purpose of this study, information technology (IT) business projects were chosen as IT is a major driving force in business today and there is widespread dissatisfaction with the performance of IT business projects. In analysing the causes of dissatisfaction, increasingly researchers are recognising that technology is a secondary issue behind the human side of project team management. Business projects were chosen because increasingly IT is being used in the business environment to solve problems in the post-industrial era characterised by the service industry, while the manufacturing industry, from which much of the project literature has emerged, reduces. The importance of the project team in developing IT business projects is well recognised and managers are concerned about their ability to transform an ad-hoc collection of people assigned to a particular project into a coherent, integrated project team. In most cases the activities recommended to build a successful IT business project team have been theoretically based, rather than empirically founded. The goal of this research was to investigate the team building activities used on successful projects. To achieve this goal, the research defines the key measures of project success and establishes their relative importance; determines the most important team building activities for project success with experienced project managers; enhances the understanding of implementation of team building activities on successful projects; and provides suggestions on how to increase the likelihood of project success through focusing on team building activities. The research used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to develop a hierarchical model linking project success measures with team building activities. Confirmation of the AHP results and additional understanding of team building activities implementation was achieved by interviewing experienced project managers. The research found that customer satisfaction, although seldom used, was significantly more important as a project success measure than the three measures most often used - time, budget and scope. As identified by project managers, the most important team building activities for achieving customer satisfaction are team leadership; ensuring senior management support; staffing the team properly; planning the project with the team and empowering team members; building commitment among team members; developing strong communication channels and developing appropriate organisational interfaces. The research found successful projects focused on relationships in addition to the task focus of many project methodologies. The research findings on team building activities will enable project leaders on IT business projects to develop empowered project teams with stronger affiliations and support throughout the organisation. By empowering project teams to create effective internal and external relationships there will be fewer project failures, increased customer satisfaction and improved achievement of project success.

As a part of the supply chain management system, an important function of the Demand Planning module is to provide a historical demand database, with which users can save or query their multi-dimensional demand data. It also provides the capability to perform aggregate or disaggregate forecasting. Based on the results of demand plans, users can proceed to production planning activities, such as safety stock level determination or capacity preparation. In this research, we first introduce the concept of the demand planning hierarchy. Then, we describe and define different types of demand planning views. A symbolic representation system to express these views and the demand planning hierarchies (including demand planning path and demand planning tree) is also proposed. Based on the degree of demand fluctuation or the forecast accuracy, the evaluation metrics are defined to evaluate the performance of demand planning hierarchy. Finally, we formulate heuristic greedy algorithms to optimize the demand planning hierarchy performance, and an optimization method based on the dynamic programming approach is also developed. A demand data set from a semiconductor manufacturing company is used to test the algorithms proposed in this research.

Demand planning results serve as the basis of every planning activity in supply chain planning. An important feature of demand planning systems is to provide an easily accessible demand database, which support multidimensional views of demand information for decision making. Such a database should be able to support demand aggregation, disaggregation and forecasting. Based on demand planning results, companies can proceed with other supply chain planning activities, such as capacity planning, inventory planning and production planning. Current demand planning systems are designed to support requirements mentioned above. However, they don''t provide any suggestion on what is the most proper view for making demand plans. Demand planning path provides a sequential view from the highest aggregated demand view to the lowest detailed disaggregation demand view for the planner to perform bottom-up, top-down or middle-out planning. In this research, we propose the demand planning hierarchy which extends the demand planning path for hierarchical products. First, we introduce a symbolic representation system supporting demand planning hierarchy with hierarchical products. With product hierarchy, different evolving rules are introduced for the demand planning hierarchy. Second, a software system prototype for such a demand planning hierarchy is developed. As a decision support system, the developed system is not only figures out the optimal demand views but also provides interactive interfaces for decision making. Finally, a demand data set from a semiconductor manufacturing company is used to test the proposed algorithms and the prototype developed in this research.

Abstract:
Planning in partially observable domains is a notoriously difficult problem. However, in many real-world scenarios, planning can be simplified by decomposing the task into a hierarchy of smaller planning problems which, can then be solved independently of one another. Several approaches, mainly dealing with fully observable domains, have been proposed to optimize a plan that decomposes according to a hierarchy specified a priori. Some researchers have also proposed to discover hierarchies in fully observable domains. In this thesis, we investigate the problem of automatically discovering planning hierarchies in partially observable domains. The main advantage of discovering hierarchies is that, for a plan of a fixed size, hierarchical plans can be more expressive than non-hierarchical ones. Our solution frames the discovery and optimization of a hierarchical policy as a non-convex optimization problem. By encoding the hierarchical structure as variables of the optimization problem, we can automatically discover a hierarchy. Successfully solving the optimization problem therefore yields an optimal hierarchy and an optimal policy. We describe several techniques to solve the optimization problem. Namely, we provide results using general non-linear solvers, mixed-integer linear and non-linear solvers or a form of bounded hierarchical policy iteration. Our method is flexible enough to allow any parts of the hierarchy to be specified based on prior knowledge while letting the optimization discover the unknown parts. It can also discover hierarchical policies, including recursive policies, that are more compact (potentially infinitely fewer parameters).

Demand planning has to deal with a lot of complicated information. It is difficult for planners to make decisions efficiently from these data. In order to satisfy the requirement of quick response, the relational database and the spreadsheets are no longer sufficient. Therefore, this thesis applies the new information technology, namely, On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and develops a software system to help users determine a Demand Planning Hierarchy quickly. The concept of Demand Planning Hierarchy (DPH) is first developed by Chen[3] to improve demand planning efficiency. OLAP and the Multidimensional database are utilized to design and implement a DPH software system. This system provides not only the greedy method but also the dynamic programming approach to search for the DPH. In addition, it can support planners to choose a specific product combination, and the system will provide middle out approach to get the DPH. Finally, a demand data set from a semiconductor manufacturing company is used to test the developed software system.

With the expansion of high-tech companies, engineering personnel play a role of growing importance. Engineering personnel mainly work as on-the-scene, immediate support, such as solving the problems created during the manufacturing process to maintain the flow line of operation and setting parameters of machines as well. The larger the production quantity is, the more problems will be caused by machines, and also the more work load of the engineering personnel is. Meanwhile, as products become further complicated, problems in the manufacturing process are more likely to occur and this also leads to the heavy burden of workers. In general, as industries evaluate the work load of engineering personnel, the ratio of production to population is served as reference to adjust manpower in the engineering department. Only the amount of production to be considered an influential factor cannot reflect the present situation of engineering personnel. In the academic study, detailed mathematical formulas can be applied to find out all the variants and then figure out the manpower needed. In business, it is, however, inconvenient to practice simply by that. Therefore, an evaluation model, including production amount and product complexity, is proposed by this study. Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to measure the complexity of products. At the same time, learning curve is studied to realize its influence on the evaluation model. It is expected that the model carries out both the effects of theory and reality.

Marriage has always been regarded as the most important day in an individual’s life. However, the lack of experience makes most couples spend an amount of time planning the wedding. To make wedding planning easier, it is hoped that the proposed evaluation model could help the couples shorten the time for exploration and focus effectively on relevant preparations. It is thus the purpose of the study to discover wedding planning projects that fit the modern needs and to make wedding preparations easier. The first chapter depicts the background, purposes and theoretical framework of the proposed wedding planning project. Chapter Two further probes into relevant literature and research, including the wedding industry, wedding customs and cultures, origins of wedding planning, investigation into service design, services of modern weddings, and the methods adopted in the study. The third chapter introduces the methods, covering the use of Modified Delphi Method to synthesize wedding evaluation, the Kano Model to categorize wedding planning projects, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process to calculate the weight. A complete manual including steps was drafted. Chapter Four includes the results and discussions. This chapter begins with the use of Kano Model, with five wedding planning projects being categorized. Using the Modified Delphi Method, a two-stage expert interview was implemented to synthesize evaluations and considerations about weddings. At last, the Analytic Hierarchy Process was adopted to evaluate the weight of each factor and to proceed with the actual test. The fifth chapter describes the conclusion of the study. It is hoped the study yields contributions to the wedding industry.

Due to the decline of the global economy and decay of enterprise growth and economic development, resulting pressures on government owned companies have become of increasing public concern and debate. Facing elected officials and taxpayer’s expectations, government owned companies needs to improve company reputation, ownership relations, customer service and the company’s balance sheet. Therefore, the question becomes how does a government owned enterprises or other organizations, achieve these objectives recognizing " human resource" is the most precious resource and source of any company’s core competitiveness. The purpose of this research, is to study related literature and application, then using the Fuzzy analytical hierarchical process to analyze the Taiwan Power Company’s current manpower and prioritize the weights of those factors found in human resource planning and management, and then explore the older aged employees’ strengths and characteristics, then to compare findings to the manpower structure and finally to develop avenues by which to achieve higher performance for the enterprise and make correct human resource acquisition and placement policy. The results show that executive personnel and first line supervisors have different views on the importance of human resources planning from four principal views; (1) Adjust manpower structure, (2) Improve manpower efficiency, (3) Motivation and human resources development and (4) Change staff attitudes. The views of the high-level managers verses those of the first line supervisor differ from one another with regard to human resource planning. Management is interested in total management and performance appraisal, whereas, the supervisors are interested in attaining sufficient number of personnel and actual manpower placement. These two different viewpoints and the weights of those factors can help a company to make strategic human resources planning, implementation, budget allocation, and performance appraisals. The results of this research will allow enterprises to effectively manage employees and labor unions to achieve the optimal human resource planning, allocation and implementation.

After the release of Taiwan in 1987, the release of political power, originally under the authority of the system under the suppression of Taiwan's regional community began to be the public attention. But in the community to create a popular process, the most typical problem is the community within the opportunities and resource inequality issues. The proposals of community planning and designing project are mostly received by middle-class communities or those famous communities that are on a continuous basis. In the past, the government subsidy community funding by using the top to bottom decision-making method, the applicant only need to elaborate plans, presented to the government departments in writing review, if necessary, then the will be surveyed and determine the amount of the subsidy and the project without detailed assessment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the factors that affect the evaluation of the subsidy of the community in the community environment of Yunlin County by means of literature compilation, and to evaluate the evaluation of community planning and design subsidy in Yunlin County by analysis of hierarchical analysis questionnaire, and to explore the differences in the weight of experts and scholars in the field of industry and academia. The evaluation criteria of community planning and design subsidy in Yunlin County are divided into three levels: a total of three facets, 12 evaluation targets and 36 evaluation criteria. On the weight, by the use of hierarchical analysis, found that social structure is the most important. Evaluation of the first three items are the public participation, industry promotion and agricultural production, mean that Yunlin County community planning and design subsidy assessment should measure the three indicators of the community at first. Another sort such as community green space behind the park and the park space, assimilation local folk culture design and the use of the law, which can be sorted later of Yunlin County community planning and design subsidies assessment. The experts in this study are experts in the community category, experts in the administrative category and experts in the academic field. As for the weight of the faculties, the difference is that the categories of experts and academic experts in the administrative category pay more attention to the social structure, and the community experts pay more attention to the economic structure. This study uses three different areas of experts and scholars to index the selection and weight measurement in order to construct evaluation criteria of Yunlin County community planning and design subsidy. For the follow-up future New Year Yunlin County community planning and design to create a plan in the assessment of subsidies, as a reference of the index structure to help the Yunlin County community planning and design plan.

Solar energy industry has been developed rapidly in recent years. They are required in the production technology to the way (Turn-key solution) that copy the same experience rapidly, so at this stage for the industry with high homogeneity. If we want to enhance our competitiveness nothing is better than from the manufacturing process is upgraded and lower production costs are reduced effectively .It is also base on plant facilities. Plant facilities layout (Layout) is always for the performance of manufacturing systems have a significant impact. The general layout of the facilities solutions are measured the quality of design on transport distance, these methods can not be considered effectively on multi-objective decision-making problem, so cannot ensure the problem solution quality on multi-objective. From the practical point of view, the plant layout problem in essence is a need to emphasize communication and co-ordination and how to integrate the views of the majority of the multi-objective decision-making problems, the majority of literature are almost emphasis on solution method and rarely on the group decision-making process give a clear explain. Therefore, how to combine effectively the group decision-making structure and logic to find an easy application and suitability methods for thin-film solar industry is the key point of this paper. This paper combined with a Systematic Layout Planning(SLP)and the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP), used on the central spine layout to solve the facilities layout design problem for thin-film solar industry. First, by the SLP steps to do and use from - to chart to achieve transport cost for quantitative indicators; to operate and develop relationships to the working data. The working data are combine the expert suggestions and join the actual constraints to gain a number of alternatives and then by the Check List to confirm and find three better alternatives. Finally, to draw up the decision-making objectives. Then use AHP method to calculate of relative weight and consistency to estimate the best layout and carry out sensitivity analysis. The results show this method practicality and applicability for thin-film solar industries application of facility layout, it is the value of paper-based.

There are many elements to consider when planning the route of the food facility. Such as production efficiency, material handling, and hygiene regulations. In order to enhance the objectivity of planning, this study aims to establish a quantifiable assessment method. The research object is the primary aquaculture processing facility, which main productions are salted mackerel, frozen fish slices, and breaded shishamo. The research method is divided into four steps. Step 1: Confirm that the case facility is compliant with regulatory requirements, by using the route planning checklist of the food facility. Step 2: Analyze the space integration value of the case facility using space syntax to improve space utilization. Step 3: Improve the layout of the operating area by reviewing the activity relationship chart. Step 4: Use flow diagram to simulate the performance of the improvement program. Results from expert questionnaire showed that the importance value of the first level weighing from high to low as follows: “hygiene operations and pollution control (0.381)”, “space area layout (0.249)”, “production efficiency (0.214)”, “structure selection (0.100)”, “future development (0.057)”. Second level weighing from high to low as follows: “pollution prevention and control of production operations (0.130)”, “low-temperature storage area (0.078)”, “personnel line management (0.070)”. By using the route planning checklist of the food facility to assess the status of the case facility, the result showed that the most vital item to improve is “pollution prevention and control of production operations (checklist score -8.8)”. The results from space syntax analysis showed that the space integration value of unit 19 ranked first, its actual material handling also came first, making it the best at space utilization. Space integration value of unit 14 came second, with its actual material handling ranking fourth, which means that space is effectively used. Space integration value of unit 31 ranked fourth, its actual material handling ranked third, and it is the main handling channel. Space integration value of unit 15 and 17 ranked third and fifth respectively, their actual material handling ranked fourteenth and fifteenth respectively. The area operation record showed that this area has the highest number of staff on break, which means people started to use it as a staff lounge. After adjusting the layout, the total free space was reduced by 315 m2, expanding the production operational area by 27%. The results obtained from reviewing activity relationship chart showed that there are 5 pairs of A relationship, with a total distance of 77.6 m; 14 pairs of E relationship, with a total distance of 402 m; 36 pairs of I relationship, with a total distance of 1180 m. The improvement program reduced the total distance of A relationships by 46.6%, mainly by moving Taiwan mackerel operations into the Norwegian mackerel area. The total distanced of E relationships was reduced by 49.8%, the vacuum packaging zone and the continuous vacuum packaging zone were moved to adjacent locations in the central area of the plant. The additive and dry goods areas were moved to adjacent locations. The mackerel thawing and sorting area were moved into the Norwegian mackerel area, so that pre-treatments are done in the same area. The flow diagram simulation showed that the improvement program reduced the processing distance of breaded shishamo by 29%, Taiwan mackerel production line processing distance is reduced by 30%, and in order to meet the hygiene requirements, the processing distance of continuous vacuum packaging and vacuum packaging is increased by 3%. This study integrates analytic hierarchy process, space syntax, activity relationship chart, and flow diagram, to establish a method to quantify food plant moving line planning. This method can be used to plan a route to meet the production efficiency needs and food hygiene safety, and can estimate the performance of the improvement program, delivering an objective overview to the planner.

Historically, the key point of final winner of war is dependent on military member’s quantity and quality. After industrial revolution, some precision-guided weapons were developed and produced, such as artilleries, missiles, satellite weapons, and chemical biological munitions. How to utilize those weapons function thoroughly, not only depend on its system, but also need the quality of operator and the capability of maintenance and service. Recently, Ministry of National Defense conduct shakeout policy and purchasing new precision weapons, the high quality and excellent manpower are more important than before. This study’s purpose is to establish an objective personnel evaluation and selection criteria for operator of military fuel. Firstly, interviewed some experts who has sufficient experience in military fuel analysis and management, in order to find out those criteria of evaluation and selection. And then, categorize the criteria by KJ Method to construct the level structure. Finally, arrange the weighting of criteria by Analytic Hierarchy Planning (AHP) and summit that information to Recruitment Center of National Armed Forces or supervisor for future recruitment.

According to the continual recession of international economy, repeatedly going up of domestic unemployment rate, quick increasing of domestic universities, and the increment of high educational population, the domestic labor structure of Taiwan has been losing its balance and worsen the unemployment. It is becoming a real human resource problem. The research aims on fresh men of graduate students in Taiwan. By means of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), we may find out the factors and criterion of the job choosing of the graduate students. In addition, we will verify the factors and criterion by expert questionnaires.     From the research, the conclusions are as follows:    (1) Graduate students emphasize on personal ability and enterprise factors, that substance phenomena of factors, for choosing vocation in Taiwan. They consider less real requirement of psychology than physical need. The result shows that the graduate students trend to consider the coordination between subjective ability and objective enterprise environment.    (2) On consideration factor, the choosing of vocation by graduate students trend to objective thought and with consulting ethical norm of their group.    (3) On value factors, the choosing of vocation by graduate students trend to be an economy human and pursuing personal utility maximum.    (4) On the factors of personal ability, the graduate students emphasize on human relationship. In addition, their secondary choice is the ability of learning and coordination. It results from lacking work experience for graduate students. In order to consolidate experience, they try to interact with other people, and learn to coordinate.    (5) On the enterprise factors, due to the macro-environmental recession, most of the graduate students hope to obtain a stable job and avoid of unemployment.    (6) There are many differences among the factors of consideration, value, personal ability and enterprise choosing by different universities.

Abstract:
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and sustainability are inextricably linked. SEA can be used to assess the sustainability impacts of plan, program and policy (PPP) initiatives, inform decision-making with regard to sustainability issues and promote the trickle down of sustainability principles to project level assessment, among others. However, in terms of energy sector practice in particular, SEA application is neither well applied nor understood, there has been insufficient evidence of the operationalization of sustainability in SEA and little research showing how SEA might provide a systematic framework for the integration of sustainability principles. As a result, this thesis examines the relationship between SEA and sustainability, with the goal of understanding how sustainability principles and criteria can be integrated and operationalized in the development of energy futures. The thesis chapters are manuscript based. The first manuscript presents a literature review of ten years of academic research examining how SEA facilitates the integration of sustainability in PPP development decision making, while the second and third manuscripts focus on a ‘state of practice’ examination of SEA application and sustainability integration in international electricity sector case practice. The fourth manuscript applies a structured SEA framework that operationalizes sustainability principles using an expert-based assessment of alternative future scenarios for electricity development in Saskatchewan, along with an examination of implications for both electricity sector practice and SEA methodology. Finally, the conclusion discusses the major findings from the four manuscripts and identifies challenges for the operationalization of sustainability, the adoption of good-practice SEA elements in practice and makes recommendations for future SEA guidance and academic research. Overall, the lack of operationalization of sustainability in energy sector SEA suggests the need for improved SEA methodology and guidance that describes the scope of and approaches to sustainability in SEA and outlines how to effectively incorporate sustainability in SEA practice. In order for SEA to deliver on its sustainability mandate, impact assessment methodologies that allow for clarification of both the concept of sustainability and the uncertainty surrounding higher level policy, plan and program (PPP) decision-making need to be developed and more widely adopted. Lessons learned from practice that describe the appropriate use of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies also need to be better disseminated and shared amongst the SEA research and practitioner community. However, results from this research also illustrate that there is still inconsistent application of SEA processes, which likely stems from uncertainty and confusion on behalf of practitioners and decision-makers as to what the role and purpose of SEA is in PPP development. More case-practice evidence of SEA application is needed that demonstrates the purpose and benefits of SEA for sustainability in a variety of decision-making contexts. Evidence from this research also shows that tiering, both upward to higher PPP levels and downward to the project level, is occurring in some electricity sector SEAs. That SEA outcomes are potentially tiering upward to influence the development of legislation is a finding that counters the often-cited notion that tiering in SEA is idealistic. This research indicates the need for additional focus on institutional arrangements that allow for SEA application to effectively inform and influence PPP decision-making in support of sustainability. The need for SEA as a higher order assessment process to capture regional and strategic impacts is becoming increasingly important in light of current federal legislation that eliminates environmental impact assessment requirements for many small-scale projects. However, although SEA emerged, in part, to inform and direct decisions made at the project level, the link between SEA, sustainability and operational decisions still remains elusive in practice.
