Determining restrictive goals in linear goal programs

Abstract

Goal programming is a method for solving problems having multiple, conflicting objectives. Information on the characteristics of the goals can help in setting goal weights and levels, determining priority levels, and in conducting postoptimality analysis. One characteristic affecting the outcome of a goal program is the restrictiveness of a goal. A restrictive goal is one whose inclusion in the goal set most degrades the value of the total objective function, or the attainment of the remaining goals. An algorithm is presented that determines restrictive goals.
