“…In a supply chain consisting of many independent actors, there is a higher likelihood of conflict because each entity has a different purpose. However, this condition is avoided when the flow of information circulating in the supply chain runs smoothly and which automatically forms a supply chain that is more likely to be a centralized planner [15]. Besides, previous studies have suggested factors that encourage sellerbuyer relationships for flexibility, as well as discounts in product quantity [16], [17], and payment options [18].…”

Recent advances in the development of information technology and the rapid use of decision support systems play significant roles in various fields, including the fisheries sector. Fishery-based activity for small island regions created more complicated problems that limited marine resources and high production costs. Thus, the need to develop efficient and effective tools for interconnecting supply and production becomes more crucial than ever to help local coastal communities. This study aimed to designs a web-based DSS for a sustainable supply chain of sectors in Southeast Maluku Regency, Indonesia (SIRIPIKAN). Firstly, we crafted the DSS framework to identify the fishing, supplier, and seller locations. Secondly, we measured the level of sustainability of marine resources. Thirdly, the web-based DSS can help local coastal communities increase managers' capability and ability in the fisheries-related business activity carried out. SIRIPIKAN aims to increase the profitability of fisheries business activities in coastal communities and preserve marine resources. This research combined the data mining activities with spatial analysis to obtain the cluster support map and MSY to measure sustainability and feasibility study as an approach for the development of the system. The model provides an integrated sustainable production with users' input used to optimize the decision-making process of profitability and sustainability in existing marine resources.

Context: The selection and use of appropriate multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods for solving complex problems is one of the challenging issues faced by decision makers in the search for appropriate decisions. To address these challenges, MCDM methods have effectively been used in the areas of ICT, farming, business, and trade, for example. This study explores the integration of machine learning and MCDM methods, which has been used effectively in diverse application areas. Objective: The objective of the research is to critically analyze state-of-the-art research methods used in intelligent decision support systems and to further identify their application areas, the significance of decision support systems, and the methods, approaches, frameworks, or algorithms exploited to solve complex problems. The study provides insights for early-stage researchers to design more intelligent and cost-effective solutions for solving problems in various application domains. Method: To achieve the objective, literature from the years 2015 to early 2020 was searched and considered in the study based on quality assessment criteria. The selected relevant literature was studied to respond to the research questions proposed in this study. To find answers to the research questions, pertinent literature was analyzed to identify the application domains where decision support systems are exploited, the impact and significance of the contributions, and the algorithms, methods, and techniques which are exploited in various domains to solve decision-making problems. Results: Results of the study show that decision support systems are widely used as useful decision-making tools in various application domains. The research has collectively studied machine learning, artificial intelligence, and multi-criteria decision-making models used to provide efficient solutions to complex decision-making problems. In addition, the study delivers detailed insights into the use of AI, ML and MCDM methods to the early-stage researchers to start their research in the right direction and provide them with a clear roadmap of research. Hence, the development of Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) using machine learning (ML) and multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) can assist researchers to design and develop better decision support systems. These findings can help researchers in designing more robust, efficient, and effective multicriteria-based decision models, frameworks, techniques, and integrated solutions.

“…Nowadays, logistics in ports and maritime industry has reached a high degree of complexity, requiring for practical reasons the application of analytical methods to objectively support decision-making processes. Ideally, these methods need to be embedded in a collaborative environment in the form of Decision Support Tool (DST), in order to facilitate the required port operations (Mar-Ortiz et al 2018). The DST currently used by the port of Bordeaux only predicts water levels at a few locations considered most critical via a reconstruction of the tidal signal based on harmonic constituents.…”

NavTEL is a new decision support tool for the short-term (36 hours) planning of ship routes and the management of underkeel clearance in estuarine navigation channels.NavTEL used a deterministic method and is coupled with the TELEMAC-MASCARET system for numerical modeling of hydrodynamic and sediment transport in the estuary with a two-dimensional approach. In its present version, NavTEL allows to (i) prepare and launch daily simulations automatically, and (ii) to post-process simulation outputs to find the safest ship route and to predict underkeel clearances at specified locations. Because of the reliability of the results lies on the accuracy of water level predictions, numerical simulations were performed with measured river discharges, storm surge forecasts and time-varying friction coefficients for bed roughness. Even though NavTEL was initially developed for the Atlantic Port of Bordeaux located in the Gironde Estuary, its kernel has a modular structure allowing to adjust the tool to different port configurations and types of water bodies. Finally, examples of graphical outputs and reports generated by NavTEL are shown for an application of a container ship coming into the port of Bordeaux.
