Rapid and frequent organizational change has been a hallmark of business environments in the past two decades. Frequently, technology and new software development are embraced as aspects of complex strategies and tactical plans. Without sufficient analysis, the unforeseen consequences of change can result in unexpected disruptions and the loss of productivity. In order to better control these contingencies, modern managers often employ a variety of decision support aids. One such aid, classified as a representational decision support system, is discrete event simulation (DES).

Purpose This study aims to propose a decision support system (DSS) that performs a decision-based part-fixture assignment and fixture flow control in planned production periods. Design/methodology/approach The principal approaches were fuzzy case-based reasoning (FCBR) and discrete-event simulation (DES). Besides, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), an object-oriented (OO) method and a fuzzy weighted Euclidean distance were used to support the decision-making process. Findings It shows that integrating FCBR and DES systems is a promising approach to address part-fixture planning problems. The FCBR subsystem proposed various stable numbers of fixtures as scenarios. The DES model analyzed the future performances of these scenarios and identified the best alternative. Research limitations/implications The DSS was tested in laboratory environments using a numerical analysis; however, it was not validated in industrial situations. Originality/value The synergy of integrating FCBR and DES systems was not exploited in the past in part-fixture assignment and fixture flow control problems.

SYNOPSIS Operational mine planning is a fundamental activity in mine operations and should take into account various characteristics of the material, the available mining faces, the requirements of discharge points, and production hiatuses due to reduced equipment operational efficiency, in order to efficiently allocate shovels and trucks and deliver the required tonnage and quality to the proper destinations. This paper presents an approach for optimizing short-term day-to-day mining operations using simulation. A mathematical model based on integer linear programming is developed. The solution is obtained through two different software packages using discrete event simulation (Arena) and a mathematical optimization model (Lingo). The two integrated models search an efficient solution to optimize a set of criteria by applying goal programming to hierarchically optimize five objective functions in a logical priority order under the operator's standpoint and by simulating mining operations and unproductive events to evaluate how closely the optimized results are actually achieved. The integrated models are applied to a real large-scale iron ore mine in southeastern Brazil. A decision support system (DSS) prototype that meets the production requirements is also applied. The results show that an increase in the available loading equipment will not result necessarily in increased production, as expected. The models show satisfactory results and applicability to real and complex mining situations, and the formulation allows for easy adaptation to other mine situations. Keywords: discrete event simulation, optimization, decision support system, mine planning, linear programming.

This work presents a Decision Support System to assist multiple team formation in the context of software development. After analysis of recent works in the literature, it was found that the approaches are still unable to reflect the real needs of the industry, which makes their practical application difficult. Our findings confirm the benefits of our prototype developed to researchers who are interested in comprehending the team formation problem and industry practitioners who may be interested in understanding how Decision Support Systems can support the teams formation.

The reception of journalists at the Waspada Daily Medan always went through several rigorous selections before being determined to be accepted as journalists at the Waspada Medan Daily. There are several criteria that must be possessed by each participant as a condition for becoming a journalist in the Daily Alert Medan. To get the best participants, the Waspada Medan Daily needed a decision support system. Decision Support Systems (SPK) are part of computer-based information systems (including knowledge-based systems (knowledge management)) that are used to support decision making within an organization or company. Decision support systems provide a semitructured decision, where no one knows exactly how the decision should be made. In this study the authors applied the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) as the method to be applied in the decision support system application. The VIKOR method is part of the Multi-Attibut Decision Making (MADM) Concept, which requires normalization in its calculations. The expected results in this study can obtain maximum decisions.Keywords: Journalist Acceptance, Decision Support System, VIKOR
