~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Decision Analysis System (DAS), is an innovative software
package which will provide you with a formal, analytical approach, to
decision and problem analysis. Using proven scientific methods, DAS
will help you to avoid intuition and speculation, while preserving
such qualitative factors as experience and judgment.
DAS is not a 'black box' program! It uses a number of proven, well
established Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) algorithms and
provides numerical results for each stage in the analysis. The use of
popular, well established algorithms is especially important to such
users as educational institutions, government agencies and
consultants.
Consultants, who for example, are taxed to recommend the location for
a new garbage dump, need a tool which will evaluate possible
alternatives with as little bias as possible. Their recommendations
will need to stand up to public scrutiny, and the public hearing
process which usually takes place before a site is actually selected.
This is where the use of well established decision analysis
algorithms is useful. They can be explained and defended because
quite a bit of research has gone into them!
This sophisticated package contains two separate decision analysis
programs. One program utilizes a decision matrix to evaluate
alternatives based on tangible criteria. The second program employs
pairwise comparisons and a hierarchical problem structure which
allows the use of subjective, intangible factors in the decision
analysis.
Because of it's ability to allow the user to easily quantify
subjective or intangible factors, DAS may be used beyond the
traditional decision or problem analysis type of situations. One
example might be taste testing a new food or beverage product.
