Research and Development Project Prioritization - Computer Model

Abstract

This report is based upon research concerned with the aggregation of multiple lists of rank ordered research and development (R&D) projects or product requirements needing R&D. The resultant prioritized list serves as a basis for resource allocation to the R&D projects. The rank orders are ordinal and without feedback or strategy. The model and computer code use validated methods to compute the aggregation of up to 100 rank ordered lists of up to 100 alternatives. Final lists are computed by the Shannon Borda, and Fuzzy set rank order methods. This report contains a complete computer code listing and map, and five representative examples of the variety of problems that can be computed.
