The study focused on the previous research on Group Decision-Making theories. We discussed how to optimize the process of Group Decision-Making and especially lay stress on a typical problem in Group Decision-Making field which is Expert Evaluation problem. We would provide a way to optimize the process of Group Decision-Making affected by a time limit and by human resource limit.In general, Expert Evaluation problem describes such a situation: the proposers provide materials â†' the leader asks for a group of experts to evaluate these materials â†' the experts provide the final Group Decision-Making result. However, when there are too many materials, what will happen? If every expert reads every material and gives an evaluation result, to finish the evaluation process will cost quite a lot of time. If the time is limited, the accuracy will be reduced. Thus we provide a way to solve the conflict: separate the whole group of experts into several small groups. If we separate the whole group into very few small groups, every expert still needs to read a lot of materials. Then the accuracy is still not high enough. If we separate the whole group into too many small groups, every material will be evaluated by very few experts. Then the objectivity is not high enough. Hence, we will try to find the reasonable number of the small groups such that the group performance which shows both the accuracy and the objectivity can reach the maximum.
