Decision Analysis and Optimization in the Operations Research and Management Science

This special issue belongs to the section “D2: Operations Research and Fuzzy Decision Making“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue “Decision Analysis and Optimization in the Operations Research and Management Science” highlights the latest advancements in decision-making approaches, methodologies, and their applications in improving system efficiency. It covers various decision analysis techniques, including classic and emerging optimization methods, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), and heuristic approaches. This issue welcomes theoretical advancements, empirical studies, and case applications demonstrating the impact of decision analysis and optimization in diverse fields such as logistics, supply chain management, finance, healthcare, and industrial engineering.
