Deck 20: CD - Goal Programming

Question 1

Preemptive goal programming strives to achieve all of the goals simultaneously.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

In weighted goal programming,the target cell is the weighted sum of the deviations from the goals.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Goal programming provides a way of striving toward several objectives simultaneously.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

In which of the following situations is preemptive goal programming more appropriate than weighted goal programming?

A)When there are major differences in the importance of the goals.
B)When all of the goals are roughly equal in importance.
C)When there is a single objective or goal.
D)None of the above.
E)b and c only.

Question 5

In preemptive goal programming,the goals are ranked from most important to least important.

Question 6

Goal programming can be used to handle problems with how many different objectives or goals?

A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)Any number of objectives or goals.

Question 7

In preemptive goal programming,if a new solution provides a major improvement in the second goal at the cost of a slight increase in the deviation from the first goal,then the new solution will be chosen.
Multiple Choice Questions

Question 8

Goal programming provides a way to identify the most important goal and achieve it.

Question 9

In weighted goal programming,the objective is to:

A)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals.
B)Minimize the deviation from the most important goal.
C)Meet the most important goal.
D)Maximize the profit.
E)None of the above.

Question 10

A goal programming formulation includes changing cells to measure the amount over and under each goal.

Question 11

In preemptive goal programming,penalty weights are assigned to measure the relative seriousness of missing the respective goals.

Question 12

Goal programming problems cannot be easily reformulated as linear programming problems and,therefore,require a special algorithm to solve.

Question 13

Penalty weights for goal programming are best measured in monetary terms.

Question 14

Which of the following are changing cells in a goal programming formulation?

A)Activity levels.
B)Deviations from the goals.
C)The weighted sum of deviations.
D)All of the above.
E)a and b only.

Question 15

In goal programming,constraints are used to assure that every goal is met.

Question 16

The overall objective for a goal programming problem is to minimize the weighted sum of deviations of the objective functions from their respective goals.

Question 17

In preemptive goal programming,the target cell is the weighted sum of the deviations from the goals.

Question 18

Preemptive goal programming is more appropriate the weighted goal programming when there are major differences in the importance of the goals.

Question 19

In preemptive goal programming,the first step is to:

A)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals.
B)Minimize the deviation from the most important goal.
C)Meet the most important goal.
D)Maximize the profit.
E)None of the above.

Question 20

Weighted goal programming provides a way of striving toward several objectives simultaneously.

Question 21

In preemptive goal programming,the most important thing is to:

A)Come as close as possible to meeting all the goals.
B)Achieve,or come as close as possible,to meeting the most important goal.
C)Minimize the weighted sum of deviations from the goals.
D)Maximize the profit.
E)All of the above.
