Grey-scaled levelplot of estimated Pareto front

Decision support systems aim at helping the management of an organizational unit to find decisions for planning problems. Information about the relevant processes has to be provided and an evaluation of potential solutions has to be possible. 

Various types of DSS can be distinguished of which for the present work mainly model-driven DSS are relevant. Model-driven DSS make use of a model (optimization, simulation or statistical) of some (sub)-system of the company to provide decision-relevant data. In contrast, e.g. knowledge- or communication-driven DSS provide topic-specific expertises or support shared working processes.
