Deck 17: Goal programming

Question 1

In preemptive goal programming,the objective cell is the weighted sum of the deviations from the goals

Answer 1

False

Question 2

Preemptive goal programming strives to achieve all of the goals simultaneously

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Weighted goal programming provides a way of striving toward several objectives simultaneously

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Which of the following are changing cells in a goal programming formulation?

A)Activity levels
B)Deviations from the goals
C)The weighted sum of deviations
D)All of the above
E)a and b only

Question 5

In goal programming,constraints are used to assure that every goal is met

Question 6

Penalty weights for goal programming are best measured in monetary terms

Question 7

Goal programming provides a way to identify the most important goal and achieve it

Question 8

The overall objective for a goal programming problem is to minimize the weighted sum of deviations of the objective functions from their respective goals

Question 9

In preemptive goal programming,penalty weights are assigned to measure the relative seriousness of missing the respective goals

Question 10

Preemptive goal programming is more appropriate the weighted goal programming when there are major differences in the importance of the goals

Question 11

Goal programming problems cannot be easily reformulated as linear programming problems and,therefore,require a special algorithm to solve

Question 12

Goal programming provides a way of striving toward several objectives simultaneously

Question 13

In which of the following situations is preemptive goal programming more appropriate than weighted goal programming?

A)When there are major differences in the importance of the goals
B)When all of the goals are roughly equal in importance
C)When there is a single objective or goal
D)None of the above
E)b and c only

Question 14

In weighted goal programming,the objective is to:

A)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals
B)Minimize the deviation from the most important goal
C)Meet the most important goal
D)Maximize the profit
E)None of the above

Question 15

In weighted goal programming,the objective cell is the weighted sum of the deviations from the goals

Question 16

In preemptive goal programming,the goals are ranked from most important to least important

Question 17

A goal programming formulation includes changing cells to measure the amount over and under each goal

Question 18

Goal programming can be used to handle problems with how many different objectives or goals?

A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)Any number of objectives or goals

Question 19

In preemptive goal programming,the first step is to:

A)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals
B)Minimize the deviation from the most important goal
C)Meet the most important goal
D)Maximize the profit
E)None of the above

Question 20

In preemptive goal programming,if a new solution provides a major improvement in the second goal at the cost of a slight increase in the deviation from the first goal,then the new solution will be chosen

Question 21

In preemptive goal programming,the most important thing is to:

A)Come as close as possible to meeting all the goals
B)Achieve,or come as close as possible,to meeting the most important goal
C)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals
D)Maximize the profit
E)All of the above
