Abstract
This thesis is focusing on designing a DSS to facilitate Human Resource Management decisions for the Hellenic Navy. A mathematical, multi-criteria optimization model was designed and a software environment implemented employing this model to make job assignment decisions. The rationale was to develop a software solution able to adapt in the most automated way possible to different issues concerning HRM. Assigning HRM resources in an optimal way while considering multiple criteria is a very difficult task. There are many attributes to be taken into account some of which contradict each other. The human mind has limitations when dealing with multi attribute problems and the associated set of multiple tradeoffs. Providing a mathematical solution to the problem with the ability to evaluate tradeoffs could provide useful insight to decision makers and help reduce bias in the overall HRM assignment process. Design and implementation of such a system is the purpose of this thesis.
