OPENING CASE STUDY

•  A DSS to Keep Auto Workers’ Health up and 

Costs down • Providing the best health care at the lowest

cost is a complex type of problem

• In 2002, GM spent $4.5 billion on workers’health care

• Auto workers’ health care is the best in theworld

OPENING CASE STUDY

• GM uses a decision support system to find

the best care at the best cost for its workers• The company combines heath care

information and worker productivity reports toanalyze the workers’ needs 

• Decision support can help business with allsorts of decisions

INTRODUCTION

• Computer-aided decision support

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS

• Phases of decision making

 – Intelligence   – find or recognize a problem, need,or opportunity

 – Design   – consider possible ways of solving theproblem

 – Choice   – weigh the merits of each solution

 – Implementation   – carry out the solution

Four Phases of Decision Making

Types of Decisions You Face

• Structured decision   – processing a certain

information in a specified way so that you willalways get the right answer

• Nonstructured decision   – one for which

there may be several “right” answers, withouta sure way to get the right answer

Types of Decisions You Face

• Recurring decision   – one that happens

repeatedly• Nonrecurring (ad hoc) decision   – one you

make infrequently

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/intelligent-syatem 15/444-15

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS

• Decision support system (DSS)   – a highly

flexible and interactive system that isdesigned to support decision making whenthe problem is not structured

• Decision support systems help you analyze,

but you must know how to solve the problem,and how to use the results of the analysis

Alliance between You and a DSS

8/3/2019 Intelligent Syatem

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/intelligent-syatem 17/444-17

Components of a DSS

• Model management component   – consists

of both the DSS models and the modelmanagement system

• Data management component   – stores andmaintains the information that you want your

DSS to use• User interface management component   – 

allows you to communicate with the DSS

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

• Artificial intelligence (AI)   – the science of

making machines imitate human thinking andbehavior

• Robot   – a mechanical device equipped with

simulated human senses and the ability totake action on its own

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

• Types of AI systems used in business

 – Expert systems – Neural networks

 – Genetic algorithms

 – Intelligent agents• AI systems deliver the conclusion (rather than

helping you analyze the options)

EXPERT SYSTEMS

• Expert (knowledge-based) system   – an

artificial intelligence system that appliesreasoning capabilities to reach a conclusion

• Used for

 – Diagnostic problems (what’s wrong?)  – Prescriptive problems (what to do?)

Components of an Expert System

1. Information Types

 – Domain expertise  –

 how to solve the problem  – “Why?” information – explains the questions

 – Problem facts – the current situation

2. People

 – Domain expert  –

the expert in that field 

 – Knowledge engineer  – the computer expert 

 – Knowledge worker – the user

Components of an Expert System

3. IT Components

• Knowledge acquisition   – used to enterrules

• Explanation module  – where explanationsare kept 

• User interface – the part the user uses• Inference engine  – applies the logic 

• Knowledge base  – where rules are kept

What Expert Systems Can and Can’tDo

• An expert system can

 – Reduce errors – Improve customer service

 – Reduce cost

• An expert system can’t  – Use common sense

 – Automate all processes

NEURAL NETWORKS

• Neural network (artificial neural network 

or ANN)   – an artificial intelligence systemthat is capable of finding and differentiatingpatterns

Neural Networks Can… 

• Learn and adjust to new circumstances on

their own• Take part in massive parallel processing

• Function without complete information

• Cope with huge volumes of information• Analyze nonlinear relationships

GENETIC ALGORITHMS

• Genetic algorithm   – an artificial intelligence

system that mimics the evolutionary, survival-of-the-fittest process to generate increasinglybetter solutions to a problem

4-33

Evolutionary Principles of GeneticAlgorithms

1. Selection   – or survival of the fittest or

giving preference to better outcomes2. Crossover   – combining portion of good

outcomes to create even better outcomes

3. Mutation   – randomly trying combinationsand evaluating the success of each

Genetic Algorithms Can… 

• Take thousands or even millions of possible

solutions and combining and recombiningthem until it finds the optimal solution
