Title
TOP-MODELER©: Supporting Complex Strategic and Operational Decisionmaking
Abstract
Senior managers frequently make difficult strategic decisions that affect their entire organization.ï戮 ï戮 To do this, they often must rely on management experience and intuition.ï戮 ï戮 A growing arsenal of tools can be used to ensure that experience and intuition are appropriately applied and even enhanced by industry-wide best-practice knowledge, a comprehensive understanding of the firm's strengths and weaknesses, and an analytic assessment of how to prioritize implementation activities.ï戮 ï戮 This paper describes the use, development and evaluation of a tool called TOP-MODELER.ï戮 ï戮 We discuss the foundations of TOP-MODELER and the process of developing and validating its comprehensive knowledgebase.ï戮 ï戮 We also illustrate how TOP-MODELER has been applied to help streamline and clarify strategic and operations decisions for a wide array of strategists, designers, and managers in manufacturing (and other) organizations.
