{"title":"Value\u2013based Group Decision on Support Bridge Selection","authors":"Christiono Utomo, Arazi Idrus","volume":43,"journal":"International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering","pagesStart":1688,"pagesEnd":1694,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/15926","abstract":"<p>Value-based group decision is very complicated since many parties involved. There are different concern caused by differing preferences, experiences, and background. Therefore, a support system is required to enable each stakeholder to evaluate and rank the solution alternatives before engaging into negotiation with the other stakeholders. The support system is based on combination between value-based analysis, multi criteria group decision making based on satisfying options, and negotiation process based on coalition formation. This paper presents the group decision and negotiation on the selection of suitable material for a support bridge structure involving three decision makers, who are an estate manager, a project manager, and an engineer. There are three alternative solutions for the material of the support bridge structure, which are (a1) steel structure, (a2) reinforced concrete structure and (a3) wooden structure.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] J.
