1 Decision Analysis Johan Oscar Ong, ST, MT
2 Analytical Decision Making Can Help Managers to: Gain deeper insight into the nature of business relationships Find better ways to assess values in such relationships; and See a way of reducing, or at least understanding, uncertainty that surrounds business plans and actions 2
3 Steps to Analytical DM Define problem and influencing factors Establish decision criteria Select decision-making tool (model) Identify and evaluate alternatives using decision-making tool (model) Select best alternative Implement decision Evaluate the outcome 3
4 Models Are less expensive and disruptive than experimenting with the real world system Allow operations managers to ask What if types of questions Are built for management problems and encourage management input Force a consistent and systematic approach to the analysis of problems Require managers to be specific about constraints and goals relating to a problem Help reduce the time needed in decision making 4
5 Limitations of the Models They may be expensive and time- consuming to develop and test Often misused and misunderstood (and feared) because of their mathematical and logical complexity Tend to downplay the role and value of nonquantifiable information Often have assumptions that oversimplify the variables of the real world 5
6 The Decision-Making Process Quantitative Analysis Problem Logic Historical Data Marketing Research Scientific Analysis Modeling Decision Qualitative Analysis Emotions Intuition Personal Experience and Motivation Rumors 6
7 Displaying a Decision Problem Decision trees Decision tables Outcomes States of Nature Alternatives Decision Problem 7
8 Types of Decision Models Decision making under uncertainty Decision making under risk Decision making under certainty 8
9 Fundamentals of Decision Theory Terms: Alternative: : course of action or choice State of nature: : an occurrence over which the decision maker has no control Symbols used in a decision tree: A decision node from which one of several alternatives may be selected A state of nature node out of which one state of nature will occur 9
10 Decision Table States of Nature Alternatives State 1 State 2 Alternative 1 Outcome 1 Outcome 2 Alternative 2 Outcome 3 Outcome 4 10
11 Getz Products Decision Tree A state of nature node A decision node Construct small plant 1 2 Favorable market Unfavorable market Favorable market Unfavorable market 11
12 Decision Making under Uncertainty Maximax-Choose the alternative that maximizes the maximum outcome for every alternative (Optimistic criterion) Maximin Maximin-Choose the alternative that maximizes the minimum outcome for every alternative (Pessimistic criterion) Equally likely - chose the alternative with the highest average outcome. 12
13 Example: States of Nature Alternatives Favorable Market Unfavorable Market Maximum in Row Minimum in Row Row Average Construct $200,000 -$180,000 $200,000 -$180,000 $10,000 large plant Construct small plant Do nothing $100,000 -$20,000 $100,000 -$20,000 $40,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 Maximax Maximin Equally likely 13
14 Decision criteria The maximax choice is to construct a large plant. This is the maximum of the maximum number within each row or alternative. The maximin choice is to do nothing. This is the maximum mum of the minimum imum number within each row or alternative. The equally likely choice is to construct a small plant. This is the maximum of the average outcomes of each alternative. This approach assumes that all outcomes for any alternative are equally likely. 14
15 Decision Making under Risk Probabilistic decision situation States of nature have probabilities of occurrence Maximum Likelihood Criterion Maximize Expected Monitary Value (Bayes Decision Rule) 15
16 Maximum Likelihood Criteria Maximum Likelihood: : Identify most likely event, ignore others, and pick act with greatest payoff. Personal decisions are often made that way. Collectively, other events may be more likely. Ignores lots of information. 16
17 Bayes Decision Rule It is not a perfect criterion because it can lead to the less preferred choice. Consider the Far-Fetched Fetched Lottery decision: EVENTS Probability Would you gamble? Gamble ACTS Don t Gamble Head.5 +$10,000 $0 Tail.5 5,
18 The Far-Fetched Fetched Lottery Decision EVENTS Proba- bility Gamble Payoff Prob. ACTS Don t Gamble Payoff Prob Head.5 +$5,000 $0 Tail.5 2,500 0 Expected Payoff: $2,500 $0 Most people prefer not to gamble! That violates the Bayes decision rule. But the rule often indicates preferred choices even though it is not perfect. 18
19 Expected Monetary Value N: Number of states of nature k: Number of alternative decisions Xij: Value of Payoff for alternative i in state of nature j, i=1,2,...,k and j=1,2,...,n. Pj: Probability of state of naturej EMV ( A i ) = N j = 1 X ij P j 19
20 Example: States of Nature Alternatives Favorable Market P(0.5) Unfavorable Market P(0.5) Expected value Construct $200,000 -$180,000 $10,000 large plant Construct $100,000 -$20,000 $40,000 small plant Do nothing $0 $0 $0 Best choice 20
21 Decision Making under Certainty What if Getz knows the state of the nature with certainty? Then there is no risk for the state of the nature! A A marketing research company requests $65000 for this information 21
22 Questions: Should Getz hire the firm to make this study? How much does this information worth? What is the value of perfect information? 22
23 Expected Value With Perfect Information (EVPI) EVPI = Expected Payoff - Maximum expected payoff under Certainty with no information Let N: Number of states of nature and k: Number of actions, Expected Payoff under Ceratinty= N j= 1 (Max i { X ij }).P j Maximum expected payoff with no information=max {EMV i ; i=1,..,k} EVPI places an upper bound on what one would pay for additional information 23
24 Example: Expected Value of Perfect Information 24
25 Expected Value of Perfect Information Expected Value Under Certainty =($200,000* *0.50)= $100,000 Max( ax(emv)= Max{10,000, 40,000, 0}=$40,000 EVPI = Expected Value Under Certainty - Max( ax(emv) = $100,000 - $40,000 = $60,000 So Getz should not be willing to pay more than $60,000 25
26 Ex: Toy Manufacturer How to choose among 4 types of tippi-toes? toes? Demand for tippi-toes toes is uncertain: Light demand: 25,000 units (10%) Moderate demand: 100,000 units (70%) Heavy demand: 150,000 units (20%) 26
27 Payoff Table ACT (choice) Event (State of nature) Probability Gears and levers Spring Action Weights and pulleys Light 0.10 $25,000 -$10,000 -$125,000 Moderate , , ,000 Heavy , , ,000 27
28 Maximum Expected Payoff Criteria Gears and levers Expected $412,500 Payoff ACT (choice) Spring Action Weights and pulleys $412,500 $455,500 $417,000 Maximum expected payoff occurs at Spring Action! 28
29 Decision Trees Graphical display of decision process, i.e., alternatives, states of nature, probabilities, payoffs. Decision tables are convenient for problems with one set of alternatives and states of nature. With several sets of alternatives and states of nature (sequential decisions), decision trees are used! EMV criterion is the most commonly used criterion in decision tree analysis. 29
30 Steps of Decision Tree Analysis Define the problem Structure or draw the decision tree Assign probabilities to the states of nature Estimate payoffs for each possible combination of alternatives and states of nature Solve the problem by computing expected monetary values for each state- of-nature node 30
31 Decision Tree 1 State 1 State 2 Outcome 1 Outcome 2 Decision Node 2 State 1 State 2 State of Nature Node Outcome 3 Outcome 4 31
32 Ex1:Getz Products Decision Tree EMV for node 1 = $10,000 Construct small plant 1 2 Favorable market (0.5) Unfavorable market (0.5) Favorable market (0.5) Unfavorable market (0.5) EMV for node 2 = $40,000 Payoffs $200,000 -$180,000 $100,000-20,
33 A More Complex Decision Tree Let s say Getz Products has two sequential decisions to make: Conduct a survey for $10000? Build a large or small plant or not build? 33
34 Ex1:Getz Products Decision Tree 1 st decision point $49,200 2 nd decision point $106,400 $106,400 2 $63,600 3 Fav. Mkt (0.78) Unfav. Mkt (0.22) Fav. Mkt (0.78) Unfav. Mkt (0.22) $190,000 -$190,000 $90,000 -$30,000 $49,200 1 $40,000 $2,400 -$87,400 4 $2,400 5 $10,000 6 $40,000 7 Fav. Mkt (0.27) Unfav. Mkt (0.73) Fav. Mkt (0.27) Unfav. Mkt (0.73) Fav. Mkt (0.5) Unfav. Mkt (0.5) Fav. Mkt (0.5) Unfav. Mkt (0.5) 34 -$10,000 $190,000 -$190,000 $90,000 -$30,000 -$10,000 $200,000 -$180,000 $100,000 -$20,000 $0
35 Resulting Decision EMV of conducting the survey=$49,200 EMV of not conducting the survey=$40,000 So Getz should conduct the survey! If the survey results are favourable, build large plant. If the survey results are infavourable, build small plant. BIS 517-Aslı Sencer Erdem 35
36 Ex2: Ponderosa Record Company Decide whether or not to market the recordings of a rock group. Alternative1: test market 5000 units and if favorable, market units nationally Alternative2: Market units nationally Outcome is a complete success (all are sold) or failure 36
37 Ex2: Ponderosa-costs, prices Fixed payment to group: $5000 Production cost: $5000 and $0.75/cd Handling, distribution: $0.25/cd Price of a cd: $2/cd Cost of producing 5,000 cd s =5,000+5,000+( )5,000=$15,000 Cost of producing 45,000 cd s =0+5,000+( )45,000=$50,000 Cost of producing 50,000 cd s =5,000+5,000+( )50,000=$60,000 37
38 Ex2: Ponderosa-Event Probabilities Without testing P(success)=P(failure)=0.5 With testing P(success test result is favorable)=0.8 P(failure test result is favorable)=0.2 P(success test result is unfavorable)=0.2 P(failure test result is unfavorable)=0.8 38
39 Decision Tree for Ponderosa Record Company 39
40 Backward Approach 40
41 Sensitivity Analysis The optimal solution depends on many factors. Is the optimal policy robust? Question: -How does $1000 payoff change with respect to a change in success probability (0.8 currently)? earnings of success ($90,000 currently)? test marketing cost ($15,000 currently)? 41
