Abstract

Abstract : Learning capability is the basis of evolution in every organization. Since the simplification and development of learning level in any organization seems to be necessary, in this paper we represent a mathematical model to maximize organizational learning capability. The proposed mathematical model focuses on required cost, labor, and capital, for implementation of ten effective factors on learning capability in different parts of an organization so that they are effective in learning capability with least cost for organization. To measure the factors in different parts of an organization some metrics are introduced. Computational tests confirm the effectiveness of the model. The model is optimized by epsilon constraint while it is multiobjective one. The validation of the model is also reported to emphasize the validity and applicability of the proposed methodology.
