By adjusting the weights of various indicators, the Pareto front of the multi-objective optimization is obtained before making a decision. This method is inherently prone to generating local optima and can be difficult to solve. This invention uses the ε-constraint method, which transforms redundant objective functions into constraints to solve the established multi-objective programming problem.
