%0 Journal Article %T LA MAXIMIZACI¨®N DEL BENEFICIO EN LAS EMPRESAS DEPURADORAS DE AGUAS RESIDUALES: EL CASO DE VALENCIA (ESPA£¿A) %A BROTONS MART¨ªNEZ %A JOS¨¦ MANUEL %J Estudios Gerenciales %D 2011 %I Universidad Icesi %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 financiaci¨®n %K aguas residuales %K programaci¨®n por objetivos borrosa. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0123-59232011000300008&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
