serve as a framework for developing various dimensions of performance i.e. flexibility, responsiveness etc.
Different alternative structures may be compared, ranked and finally selected for system wide optimization.
Yadav et al. (2010) introduced a methodology for selection of power plant using graph theoretic approach to
evaluate and rank the various type of power plant, a universal evaluation index on the basis of operational
characteristics has been proposed. In order to study the impact of attributes over the desired outcome, sensitivity
analysis of the attributes has been used.
Saha and Grover (2011) applied the graph theory to evaluate the quality dimension for web 2.0 environment with
quantitative approach. Also the purpose of this paper is to represent the effect of ‘website quality dimension in
web 2.0 environment’ in terms of a single numerical index by considering their inheritances and interactions.
The practical approach is to find out the key quality attributes which affects overall website quality.
Jangra et al. (2011) applied the graph theory to evaluate the performance of carbide compacting die
manufactured by wire EDM. They considered surface characteristics and dimensional accuracy as the important
performance attribute of a compacting die. Die performance indexes were determined under the combination of
different factors and sub-factors which evaluate the influence of considered factors. In another paper Jangra et al.
(2011) evaluated the machinability of tungsten carbide composite with wire EDM using graph theoretic
approach. Material removal rate is considered as an attribute for evaluating the machinability index.
Malhota et al. (2011) applied the graph theoretic approach to evaluate the barriers affecting the reconfigurable
system. Twelve barriers were identified and a mathematic model was developed to evaluate the extent of these
barriers. Table 1 summarizes the application of GTA.
