Decision Theory
![Page 4: Problem Solving and Decision Making](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051323/54761847b4af9f7e7c8b458a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Decision Theory can be used to determine optimal strategies when a decision maker is faced with several decision alternatives and an uncertain or risk-filled pattern of future events
e.g. Production of a product before the demand is actually known
Decision Theory

Pay-off Tables
The future events which are not under the control of decision maker, are referred to as “states of nature”
Pay-off Tables contains any measure of output that may be appropriate for a particular situation e.g cost, profits etc

Types of decision making situations Decision making under certainty:
The process of choosing a decision alternative when the state of nature is known only one column in the payoff table optimal decision is the one corresponding to the best pay off in the column
Decision making under uncertainty: The process of choosing a decision alternative when the state of
nature is not known
Decision Making Situations

An approach to solving problems in Production Processes
Can also be used to determine whether the quality of an output is “acceptable” or not.
Designed to find underlying problems which cause defects or other undesirables results, and fix them permanently

Pareto Chart
Contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line.

Fishbone diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams
A method of showing possible causes of a problem.
An aid to brainstorming and hypothesis generation

Decision-Making Methods

Consensus Method is a group decision making process that seeks not only the agreement of most participants but also the resolution or mitigation of minority objections.
Dialectical Inquiry First group develops a detailed set of recommendations. The 2nd subgroup then develops a reasonable set of opposing recommendations. After discussions, both groups agree on a final, common list of assumptions and recommendations.
Devil’s Advocacy First group develops a detailed set of recommendations. The 2nd subgroup then develops a reasonable set of plausible critique to the other subgroup. The first group then revises its initial proposal and continues until both subgroups can agree.

A decision tree is a decision support tool that uses a tree-like graph or model of decisions and their possible consequences, including chance event outcomes, resource costs, and utility.
It is one way to display an algorithm.

SegmentationSegmentation
Criteria for need-based segments:adequate size cluster principle: members similar and distinct from
members of other segments segments must be addressable and profitable
Definition of Segment A group of customers who share the
same or similar needs
