Abstract:
In this paper, we emphasize the simulation of a decision making process applied to an international transport company from Romania. Our goal was to establish the most efficient decision, having in view three alternatives: acquisition of one additional truck, acquisition of two additional trucks and the outsourcing supplementary requests of transport services, over the trucks fleet capacity of the company, to other specialized transport companies. In view to determine mathematically the best decision, we applied the decision tree method, in the conditions in which the company΄s manager offered us a feasibility analysis concerning these alternatives. We also reveal in this paper the opportunity provided by DELMS software functions, which reduce the time involved by solving this decision problem.
