PROCESS OF DECISION-MAKING IN DEVELOPMENT OF COMPLEX TECHNICAL SYSTEMS AND THE TASK OF CHOICE OF ALTERNATIVES

Developing highly competitive products involves making well-grounded and correct decisions which can be ensured by a systemic approach to the creation of new products and advanced decision-making methods. One of the primary concepts of system analysis is the concept of decision-making. The paper considers the primary lifecycle stages of a complex engineering system (CES), the statement of the decision-making problem in respect to CES development and conditions of selection of solution methods as part of alternative solutions analysis. The authors demonstrate the significance of the decision-making process at various stages. From the standpoint of state-of-the-art concepts, the paper provides a detailed description of the decision-making procedure proper that involves seven stages – from the purpose of problem solution to its implementation.
