Abstract: Abstract The main task of management consists of optimal decision making. Especially, the area of production and logistics management is confronted with complex decision problems. Such tasks may involve strategic and tactic decisions concerning the concept of company goals, market, products and resources but also operational issues, e.g. controlling existing logistic processes. Often, these problems can be represented by complex mathematical models and the question arises how the solution process can be structured.
