20110125702DECISION SUPPORT METHODS UNDER UNCERTAINTY - Modern decision support methods handle uncertainty or hypothesis about operating conditions, using one of two techniques viz. probabilistic formulation and constraints based method, which is the subject of the present invention. A large number of applications use linear constraints to specify uncertainty. These linear constraints are the set of linear inequalities, which are used to define the demand/supply in the area of supply chains. The set of linear inequalities forms a polytope, the volume of which represents the information content. The present invention deals with the application of computational geometrical methods to find the set theoretic relationship—subset, intersection and disjointness among the polytopes and then present a visualization technique to represent these relationships among polytopes. This invention proposes a decision support system and method to visualize the relationship among the polytopes to help with decision support. A specific embodiment is a Decision Support System for Supply Chain Management.05-26-2011
