Özet:

This study suggests an AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and a target-based programming-based solution approach for the problem of student-project team creation. In the first and second stages of the two-stage target programming model developed by the authors in another study, students and faculty members have been assigned to the project teams, taking into account various criteria. AHP method has been used to determine the project criteria weights, which is the input of target programming. In this context, the survey work with students and teachers has been conducted, each student and teaching member has determined the weights they give to the criteria. In this case with a large number of decision makers, the weights each decision maker gives to the criteria are different, so a single group decision is obtained using a distance-based linear-non-programming (MBDO) mathematical programming model. The proposed approach has been applied to the problem of creating a student-project team, which is carried out within the scope of the Bachelor-graduate thesis studies of the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Uludağ. The results were compared with the results of the assignment by a specialist in terms of various performance parameters and the recommended approach was observed to have superior performance. Furthermore, when compared the time of execution of the appointments, despite the appointment work of the specialist lasting days; using the recommended approach, appointments can be performed within a few minutes if the one-time survey work is not taken into account. Although the method developed in this study is recommended for a particular problem, it can easily be adapted to the other project team creation problems.
