Abstract

We present a systematic framework to manage conflicts among decision makers (stakeholders) arising in multiobjective design and operations of process systems. Conflicts arise in these settings because stakeholders have different opinions about objectives and/or their relative priorities. The proposed framework factors in the opinion of all the stakeholders and computes a compromise solution that seeks to minimize disagreement among the stakeholders. A key advantage of the framework is that it does not require the computation of a Pareto front and can thus be used to address ...
