| Abstract | A comparative study of four multi-objective programming approaches, namely Goal Programming, Multi-objective Linear Programming, Fuzzy Goal Programming, and Fuzzy Multi-objective Linear Programming, is presented. The paper attempts to examine these approaches, con-trast them, and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each. An example from the literature is used to expound the primary differences among the aforementioned approaches with respcet to deci-sion maker involvement in model formulation and solution procedure. The results indicate that each approach is appropriate under certain operational setting and that there is no single rational multi-objective approach to all types of multi-objective decision problems. |
