Group decision-making (GDM) in an ambiguous environment has consistently become a research focus in the decision science field during the past decade. Existing minimum cost consensus models either control the total budget in a deterministic context or focus on improving the utility of decision makers. In this study, a novel consensus model with a distributionally robust chance constraint (DRO-MCCM) is explored. First, two distributionally robust chance constraints consensus models are developed based on the varied utility preferences of decision-makers and taking into consideration the uncertainty of the unit adjustment cost. Next, construct conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) to approximate the cost chance constraint, simulate the viewpoint of decision makers with ambiguous preferences such as utility function and Gaussian distribution, and convert the model into a feasible semidefinite programming problem using dual theory and the moment method. Finally, the supply chain management scenario involving new product prices employs these models. Comparison and sensitivity analyses demonstrates the model’s superiority and effectiveness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
