A cooperative decision support system for multicriteria agro-food scheduling problems

In agro-food scheduling problems, we have to satisfy many different criteria. In the practical context, these criteria have not the same importance, so we manage them among their priorities. A multicriteria decision support system seems to be the best tool able to satisfy partially and simultaneously the majority of them. The decision process is distributed all along the production chain. In each workstation, we define a decisional model based on the evaluation and the comparison of a set of proposed actions. The decision maker must formulated decisions that respect the others centers' decisions and the hard system's constraints to elaborate a coherent and robust decisions.
