This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of current accounts on the Czech banking market. Its goal is to find the most appropriate accounts for different types of clients. The work is divided into three parts. The theoretical part describes the problem of multicriteria decision making, basic concepts and principles, methods for calculating weight of the criteria and individual methods of multicriterial evaluation of alternatives. The second part is devoted to the description of the currently offered current accounts for individuals and a description of the selected criteria according to which the individual alternatives are evaluated. The last computational part tries to find the most appropriate accounts for those clients. Weights are calculated using the scoring method and DEMATEL method. Subsequently, the best accounts are selected by WSA, TOPSIS, ELECTRE III and MAPPAC. The calculations are made by using MS Excel add-in application Sanna.

This thesis describes the implementation methods for multi-criteria evaluation into the software application. IZAR is a software product that solves decision problems. IZAR solves single and multi-criteria, continuous and discrete decision problems. This thesis describes the extension of application IZAR. Several methods of multi-criteria evaluation were added into application. Supplemented methods were chosen so that the extended applications use the most basic methods from the decision theory. Introductory part of the thesis describes the basic methods that have been implemented into IZAR. There is summarized the theoretical basis of each method. The central part deals with the description of each method in terms of implementation. Attention is paid to the parts of the algorithms that have been modified or extended so that the methods are universal. Finally, the thesis shows the test examples in which functionality of methods was verified. There is described a group of complicated decision problems and control conditions that were created for these problems to find the right results.

La culture de l'ananas s'est fortement développée à la Réunion et représente la première production fruitière de l'île en termes de valeur et de tonnage exporté. L'hétérogénéité des conditions climatiques de l'île ainsi que la diversité des pratiques culturales, notamment en ce qui concerne la fertilisation azotée et l'irrigation, mène à une forte variabilité des rendements, de la qualité gustative des fruits et d'utilisation des ressources naturelles du milieu. Le développement de systèmes de culture plus durables impose de repenser et d'optimiser l'assemblage des pratiques culturales, en prenant en compte les spécificités des différentes zones de production. Un modèle ad-hoc, SIMPIÑA a été développé afin de décrire la croissance et le développement de la plante et la qualité gustative des fruits (teneur en sucres et en acides) en fonction du climat et des pratiques culturales (poids de rejets plantés, densité, date d'induction florale, fertilisation et irrigation). Ce modèle présente la particularité d'intégrer des modules mécanistes (croissance de la plante, teneur en sucre des fruits, bilans hydriques et azotés) et des modules statistiques pour la prévision de l'acidité des fruits à la récolte et la partie économique. Les pratiques culturales sont prises en compte au travers de règles de décision qu'il est ainsi possible d'évaluer. Une typologie des pratiques culturales a été élaborée sur 40 exploitations de l'île, en amont, afin de réduire le champ des possibles et permettre de proposer des systèmes de culture innovants, en optimisant les performances des systèmes tout en prenant en compte les principales contraintes des exploitations. SIMPIÑA a été utilisé pour identifier des combinaisons de pratiques culturales des systèmes qu'il conviendra de tester « au champ ». Cette approche intégrative a permis des avancées significatives au niveau de la modélisation de la culture de l'ananas et de la définition de systèmes de culture innovants. / Pineapple production is increasing on Réunion Island and represents the first fruit production, in terms of value and yield exported. The heterogeneity of climatic conditions on the island and the diversity of cultural practices, particularly with regard to nitrogen fertilization and irrigation, lead to a high variability in yield, gustatory quality of fruit and use of natural resources. The development of more sustainable cropping systems requires rethinking and optimizing the combination of agricultural practices, by taking into account the specificities of the different production areas. An ad-hoc model, SIMPIÑA was developed to describe the growth and development of pineapple plant and fruit quality (sugar and acid content) depending on climate and cultural practices (sucker weight at planting, planting density, date of flowering induction, fertilization and irrigation). This model has the particularity to integrate process-based model modules (plant growth, sugar content, water and nitrogen balance) and statistical modules (for predicting the acidity of fruit at harvest and the economic part). Cultural practices are taken into account through decision rules that may thus be assessed with the model. A typology of cultural practices was carried out based on interviews of 40 farmers all over Réunion Island and led to three farm's types with specific climatic and organizational constraints. SIMPIÑA was used to explore a wide range of combination of cultural practices, taking into account the constraints of each farm-type. We identified trends of cultural practices combinations which optimize the performances of the systems and that should be tested in the field. This integrative approach has led to significant advances in modeling pineapple production and in defining innovative cropping systems.

L'augmentation de la production mondiale de glycérine, en raison de la croissance dans l'utilisation du biodiesel, et la tendance à remplacer les plastifiants dérivés de l'anhydride phtalique dans l'industrie du PVC, ont conduit à la recherche de la plastification du PVC avec des esters de glycérol. Cette étude a utilisé une méthodologie pour la conception du produit, avec une approche du troisième paradigme du génie chimique. Plusieurs esters de glycérol ont été produits avec neuf acides carboxyliques, et l'efficacité et la performance comme plastifiant du PVC ont été évaluées.L'évaluation expérimentale comprend la détermination de la capacité à former des films et six tests de performance utilisés dans l'industrie. La modélisation moléculaire utilise les interactions binaires entre une molécule de plastifiant et une molécule modèle de PVC. Avec les résultats expérimentaux de la performance des films avec le PVC, et en appliquant des méthodes d'évaluation multicritère pour la sélection d'alternatives, trois modèles ont été développés pour la sélection des plastifiants pour des applications générales et une utilisation médicale. Enfin, nous avons étudié expérimentalement la production en laboratoire de deux esters, qui ont montré une performance appropriée selon l'évaluation multicritère. Deux modèles on été construits pour simuler la production, et en utilisant une optimisation multi-objectif des modèles et un outil d'analyse multi-critères, nous avons établi les conditions dans lesquelles une étude de changement d'échelle devrait être réalisée pour une production industrielle. / Phtalates are the most important plasticizers used in the polymer industry. However, their fossil origin and results of recent test have showed a potential negative effect on human health, have encouraged polymer industry to demand free phthalate plasticizers. At the same time, biodiesel industry produces a glut of glycerol, leading the scientific community to seek new applications for this substance. A methodology for the evaluation of new free-phthalate plasticizers for PVC applied to a new type of plasticizers, esters of glycerol, is proposed. This thesis presents an overview of the performance of eight esters derived from glycerol as new plasticizers for poly(vinyl chloride) - PVC and an outline of its compatibility with the polymer based in a method to predict the plasticization effect of glycerol esters, constructed with molecular modeling.Having several alternatives of new PVC-plasticizers, three multicriteria methods were used to construct models to select the best alternatives: multiattribute utility theory - MAUT, Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique - Macbeth and Rough sets. With these methods the preferences of a group of experts was modeled.In order to establish the conditions in which this new type of plasticizers must be produced at industrial scale, a model of the process is presented. A parametric identification was done. Also, a multicriteria optimization, in Pareto’s sense, was performed using an evolutionary algorithm. Besides, a decision aid tool based on two different functions to minimize costs and maximize productivity, respectively, was conducted with the technique Macbeth.

A aplicação de metodologias de análise multicriterial já é utilizada há décadas para análise de investimentos de alto capital, e continuam sendo ferramentas de referência para tomadas de decisão nas organizações em todo mundo. Contudo, não só grandes investimentos são influênciados por variáveis que interagem entre si e precisam ser levadas em consideração numa tomada de decisão acertada. No dia-a-dia de uma empresa, em diversos setores, decisões de menores impactos são tomadas sem que um método de análise multicriterial seja adotado para tal escolha. No entanto, quando somadas, essas decisões de menores impactos acabam por influênciar no resultado geral da empresa. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi desenvolver um método ágil de análise multicriterial que possa ser facilmente adaptado e aplicado em processos operacionais dinâmicos, comuns na rotina de grandes empresas, auxiliando nas tomadas de decisões em níveis mais baixos da organização. O método proposto foi aplicado em dois diferentes processos de uma empresa multinacional do setor de mineração. No primeiro processo foi avaliada a priorização da implantação de projetos de melhoria, onde ideias de empregados são transformadas em projetos que geram ganhos para a empresa. No segundo processo de programação da manutenção, o método auxiliou na priorização da execução de serviços de manutenção quando existem limitações de recursos. O método proposto combina a utilização de ferramentas de diversos métodos já consagrados com a adoção de soluções criativas para atender a dinamicidade dos processos avaliados. / Multicriteria analysis methodologies have been used for decades to analyze substantial capital investment alternatives, and continue to be a reference tool for capital budgeting decision making in organizations. Small investments are also influenced by several variables that need to be taken into account in assertive decision making. Minor impacts decisions are taken without using a method of multicriteria analysis and when all this decisions are combined, they influence the overall result of the company. The objective of this research is to develop a multi-criteria analysis method agile that can be easily adapted and applied to different operation dynamic process, usual in large businesses routine, helping decision making at lower levels of the organization. The proposed method was applied in two different processes of a multinational company in the mining sector. In the first case the process of prioritization projects method was studied, where ideas of employees were transformed into smaller projects that generate profit for the company. In the second case, maintenance scheduling, the method helped to prioritize the execution of maintenance services when there are resource limitation. The proposed method combines tools of renowned methods with creative solutions to help a decision making in dynamics processes.
