A Copula-Based EDA For a Class of Continuous Multiobjective Problems

What is the goal in optimization? Find the decision variable values that result in the best objective function and 
satisfy all constraints.

Profit Maximization objective - seeks to get as much profit as possible. It might be stated as a desire to earn a rapid return on investment.

When considering operational constraints we looked at people, location, premises, equipment, money, materials, other related activities and services.

The first objective, effectiveness and efficiency of operations, deals with the overall business objective. The covers everything from personnel and hiring practices to safeguarding

A success or a failure of a project depends who is making the assessment. The primary objectives of the project owner and the project contractor must be considered. These objectives are the deliverables that the project owner expects and which the project manager is employed to achieve. The primary objectives for any project can be grouped under three headings: time, cost and quality.

Management by Objectives (MBO) aims to develop organizational performance and to line up goals and secondary objectives through the organization. Employees do strong effort to recognize their ideas and goals. MBO consist of unending following and feed backing in the method to rich objectives.

If a new company wants to set their objective as a growth in profits this would be their primary objective but to achieve this, they have to develop various strategies. For each specific strategy, an objective has to be set

These constraints are applicable restrictions or limitations that could affect the project performance and prevent project work from being accomplished. It is the project manager’s responsibility to balance these constraints with available resources in order to ensure project success (CDC, 2006; Piscopo, 2013).

Exact optimisation method is the optimisation method that can guarantee to find all optimal solutions. In principle, the optimality of generated solution can be proofed mathematically. Therefore, exact optimisation is also termed as mathematical optimisation. However, exact optimisation approach is impractical usually. The effort of solving an optimisation problem by exact optimisation grows polynomially with the problem size. For example, to solve a problem by brute force approach, the execution time increases exponentially respect to the dimensions of the problem.

A project objective is a documentation of things to do to accomplish the project in timeframe before the due date. If there’s a problem they should directly address before it gets too late. They should be specific because it will make it easier to design activities to be done. Having a specific objectives can also help direct the problems stated and assure the sponsors easily.

Basic Managerial Objective: to maximize net benefits  Net Benefits = Total Benefits - Total Costs  Profits = Revenue – Costs ♦ Objective function: functional relationship between the value of the goal, and the values of endogenous variables and exogenous variables. 

- Parameters: the constants (namely, the coefficients and right-hand sides) in the constraints and objective function

Objectives discuss who is going to do what, when they will do it and how it will be measured. For example…

First we will define a cost function related to the NS. Then we will describe the important variables. After defining the cost function, the relevance of the cost function will be explained.
