A Multi attribute decision making model for evaluation of alternative Flexible manufacturing systems and rank them suitably when their attribute features are presented in a combination of cardinal and ordinal values is discussed. A decision supporting model which readily accepts the cardinal and ordinal data for the attribute features of the alternatives and gives out the evaluation of the alternatives in terms of ranks is developed.Keywords

Objectives: To analyze the attitude of vegetable growers towards Chikkaballapura Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC)
Methods and Statistical Analysis: Ninety vegetable growers who had supplied their produce to the Chikkaballapura APMC were personally interviewed using a pre-tested schedule. The collected data were scored, tabulated and analyzed using chi-square test and multiple regression analysis. Ex-post facto research design was followed for the research study.
Findings: Majority of vegetable growers (65.55%) had favourable to more favourable attitude towards Chikkaballapura APMC. All the farmers had agreed with the attitude statement ‘APMC ensures fair and competitive prices’, whereas cent per cent of the vegetable growers disapproved with the attitude statement, ‘APMC collects market fee from traders’. Education, achievement motivation, decision making ability, management orientation, innovativeness, economic motivation, mass media participation, extension agency contact and extension participation of vegetable growers had significant to highly significant association with the attitude towards APMC.
Applications/Improvements: Frequent contact of vegetable growers with the extension agency and active participation in extension activities of APMC/Horticulture Department will help the farmers in knowing and utilizing the various facilities provided by Chikkaballapura APMC. The mass media may also publish/broadcast/telecast about the benefits provided by Chikkaballapura APMC for developing favourable attitude among vegetables growers towards Chikkaballapura APMC.
