MODEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: AN APPROACH TO DECISION SUPPORT IN COMPLEX ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONThus, rather than being a predefined decision aid. a MMS can be viewed as a Recent years have seen an increased system that dynamically constructs a interest in developing interactive decision aid in response to a particular computer-based systems for supporting problem.This is accomplished by drawing decisions that must be made in complex on a knowledge base of models that environments.Many of these systems are reflects the technical expertise of a designed and built for decisions that managementscientist and the relate to a specific problem (1,10) --organizational experience with the portfolio management, manpower planning, activities involved in a given decision etc.Each of these systems center around making environment.a single model that a decision maker can use to explore various problem This knowledge can be diffused characteristics and solutions.The model, throughout the decision making environment the user interface, and the model solution and adapted as necessary to support a process are tightly coupled into a self-decision maker in structuring as well as contained system.As a result, such analyzing a problem.Knowledge systems lack flexibility and are difficult representation, diffusion of knowledge, to adapt when there are changes in the and adaptation of this knowledge in problems they are designed 6 deal with.solving problems are basic characteristics Modifications due to changes in the of a MMS.
