Goal Programming in the Period 1990–2000

Fuzzy goal programming models for analyzing demand coverage

“…It was established by Charnes and Cooper (1961) and has since been applied successfully in numerous realistic problems. See Tamiz et al (1998) and Jones and Tamiz (2002) for detailed reviews of Goal Programming applications in various problems. Fuzzy Goal Programming is one of the most popular approaches for dealing with imprecision and vagueness.…”

A lexicographical goal programming based decision support system for logistics of Humanitarian Aid

“…Despite of the drawbacks pointed out by some utility theory authors, the survey of GP applications to real problems (Jones and Tamiz 2002) illustrates that a large majority of the problems were solved using the lexicographic GP-variant. Moreover, Romero (1991) had already shown that those assumed drawbacks were normally derived from an incorrect use of the methodology, and that they could even be considered advantages when applying it to real life problems.…”

“…Some surveys (e.g. the book Schniederjans (1995), the articles Tamiz et al (1998) and Jones and Tamiz (2002), and the special issue Aouni and Kettani (2001)) have revealed its growing popularity in terms of successful applications to real-world problems and theoretical developments.…”

Goal Programming: realistic targets for the near future

“…For more details about GP publications, the reviews by Ignizio (1978), Zanakis and Gupta (1985), Romero (1986), Saber and Ravindran (1993) (for the nonlinear case), Schniederjans (1995a), Tamiz et al (1995Tamiz et al ( ,1998, Lee and Olson (1999) and Jones and Tamiz (2002) can be highlighted as the most significant ones.…”
