Steps to Good DecisionsSteps to Good Decisions
Define problem and influencing factors Establish decision criteria Select decision-making tool (model) Identify and evaluate alternatives using
decision-making tool (model) Select best alternative Implement decision Evaluate the outcome

ModelsModels Are less expensive and disruptive than experimenting
with the real world system Allow operations managers to ask “What if” types of
questions Are built for management problems and encourage
management input Force a consistent and systematic approach to the
analysis of problems Require managers to be specific about constraints and
goals relating to a problem Help reduce the time needed in decision making

Limitations of ModelsLimitations of Models
They may be expensive and time-consuming to develop
and test are often misused and misunderstood (and feared)
because of their mathematical and logical complexity tend to downplay the role and value of
non-quantifiable information often have assumptions that oversimplify the
variables of the real world

Three Types of Decision ModelsThree Types of Decision Models
Decision making under uncertainty Decision making under risk Decision making under certainty

Decision Making Under UncertaintyDecision Making Under Uncertainty
Maximax – Choose the alternative that maximizes the maximum outcome for every alternative (Optimistic criterion)
Maximin – Choose the alternative that maximizes the minimum outcome for every alternative (Pessimistic criterion)
Equally likely – chose the alternative with the highest average outcome.

Probabilistic decision situation States of nature have probabilities of occurrence Select alternative with largest Expected Monetary Value
– EMV is the average return for the alternative if the decision were repeated many times

Decision Making Under CertaintyDecision Making Under Certainty
Expected Value of Perfect Information places an upper bound on what one would pay for additional information
Expected Value of Perfect Information is the difference between the payoff under certainty and the payoff under risk
Payoff under Certainty = ($200,000 x 0.6) + ($0 x 0.4)
Payoff under Risk = $52,000
EVPI = $120,000 – $52,000 = $68,000
