This study proposes a novel hybrid multiple attribute decision-making (HMADM) procedure to ensure that aspiration levels of the agile application outcomes are achieved. The agile is a concept widely applied by organizations worldwide to enhance their capabilities for better managing software development projects. The agile application requires a pragmatic procedure to handle decision making and continuous improvements over the application life cycle. The proposed procedure evaluates and systemizes inter-influence effects among agile application factors in a context of an influential network relation map (INRM). The INRM helps managers find routes in making application decisions, meanwhile, determining improvement strategies for implementing the selected decisions toward aspiration levels. A numerical example is used to illustrate applicability of the proposed procedure. The results showed that by applying HMADM model, this study can provide a significant foundation to ensure that the best agile application outcomes are reached.

The paper of Finan and Hurley - published in Computers and Operations Research (2002) - was re-examined, where they discussed a seemingly contradictory phenomenon resulting from the ignoring of wash criteria in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). With that, they raised a serious challenge to the AHP methodology. However, by reviewing their arguments and example data, analyses regarding to their propositions and numerical example are presented in this paper to counter their challenge. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Perishable products are commonly seen in inventory management. By allowing shortages and backlogging, the impact on the cost from the decay of the products can be balanced out. In a recent paper published in Computers and Industrial Engineering [P.L. Abad, Optimal lot size for a perishable good under conditions of finite production and partial backordering and lost sale, Comput. Ind. Eng. 38 (2000) 457-465] considered a problem in such context. However, his algorithm was incomplete due to flaws in his solution procedure. The purpose of this note is to explore the same production inventory models with a mixture of partial backordering and lost sales for deteriorated items. We find the criteria for the optimal solution for different cases and derive a formulated minimum value. By theoretical analysis, we develop a few lemmas to reveal parameter effects and optimal solution procedure. The solutions are illustrated by solving the same examples from Abad's paper to illustrate the accuracy and completeness of our procedure. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier Inc.
