%0 Journal Article %T La maximización del beneficio en las empresas depuradoras de aguas residuales el Caso de Valencia (España) %J ESTUDIOS GERENCIALES;Vol. 27 No. 120 - Julio/Septiembre 2011 %D 2011 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/estudios_gerenciales/article/view/1111 %X The main purpose of this paper is to design a new way to maximize the profit of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The establishment of multiple goals impedes their simultaneous achievement. As a result, it will be enough to achieve a certain degree of satisfaction of each goal. Sometimes this approach can be extremely difficult, so minor violations of some restrictions are exceptionally allowed. Fuzzy goal-based scheduling can be considered a suitable tool for these kinds of problems. In short, WWTPs will have a suitable tool for achieving profit maximization, and, at the same time, there will be a new system to measure efficiency in the sector. %K FINANCIACIÓN %K AGUAS RESIDUALES %K PROGRAMACIÓN %K ESPAÑA %K FINANCING %K WASTEWATER %K FUZZY GOALBASED PROGRAM %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
