            Abstract : 
This study is about developing a hierarchical approach for decision-making problems. The development is done on a representative decision-making problem. A hierarchical decision making approach which enables fusion of decisions of previous and current levels is proposed. The agents that determine the decisions at different hierarchy levels is accomplished by utilizing a genetic algorithm.
