Abstract :
A new approach is proposed for a coordination model with multiple levels. This paper explains how to obtain, decisions related with hierarchical decentralized units, through decision making, which results in a set of input/output processes that characterize a process industry. In this approach, the best global results are obtained using multicriterion decision aid methods instead of mathematical programming.
