Abstract
This paper deals with a special type of voting systems, called two-stage intervened decision-making systems, in which the decision time of each decision unit will be a random variable and some supervising mechanism is included. A new decision rule is applied to such kind of systems, which makes the decision units become interdependent from each other. The reliability and cost-benefit models are developed. The optimization for the models is discussed and the optimal solution for a special case is also derived. A numerical example for model optimization is presented as well as some model comparison. Even though a specific application is used for model formulation and derivation throughout this paper, the modeling results can be easily modified and applied to many other systems.
