Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is one of the main problems which aims to determine best alternative by considering more than criterion in selection process. MCDM has manifold tools and methods that can be applied different fields from finance engineering design. This entry provide a survey on concept, its applications, categories, methods. The final section provides information statistic...

This study investigates how the priority rankings for dam construction sites vary with multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques and generation approaches for incomplete information. Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) seeks to recommend sustainable dam construction sites based on their environmental and ecological impacts in a long-term plan for dam construction (LPDC) in South Kor...

time, cost and quality are considered as the main components in managing each project. previous researches have mainly focused on the time-cost trade-off problems. recently quality is considered as the most important factor in project�s success, which is influenced by time acceleration that is the less time is spent the more success is gained. in time-cost-quality trade-off problems, each act...

When dealing with multi-criteria decision making problems, the concept of Pareto-optimality and Pareto-dominance may be inefficient (e.g. generally multiple solutions exist), especially when there is a large number of criteria. Our paper considers the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making problem based on Zadeh’s linguistic approach to P-optimality and P-dominance. The construction, analysis and...

The development of a new product is complicated multi-stakeholder process with significant risk failure. This particularly true in the medical device sector, where there are strict therapeutic, psychological, and normative constraints. article presents multi-criteria decision making called “Define, Prioritize, Measure, Aggregate” (DPMA). DPMA designed to help engineering managers during devices...
