Selecting the best mining method among many alternatives is a multicriteria decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of an integrated approach that employs AHP and PROMETHEE together for selecting the most suitable mining method for the "Coka Marin" underground mine in Serbia. The related problem includes five possible mining methods and eleven criteri...

The candidate selection process involves thoughtful empirical decisions which determine the best fit from a pool of contesting candidates. A wide range of criteria is used to assess the candidates. This paper utilizes an improved PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) methodology which efficiently establishes its applicability and potentiality to solve s...

A computer program was created to conduct a comparative study of five Multi-Criteria Evaluation Methods (MCEMs), each of which is capable of evaluating alternatives in a resource management setting. The MCEMs included Weighted Average (WA), Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE II), Compromise Programming (CP), ELimination and Choice Translating REality (E...

Supplier selection serves as the most critical factor in supply chain, which involves several criteria. The of right supplier supports company's competition. To support decision-making, a credible and practical decision-making method is thus required. This study aims to integrate Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) PROMETHEE II methods for selection. In utilizing this method, AHP utilized determin...

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is one of user friendly and handy tool available in the hands of the process industries to identifying and eliminating the potential failures in systems, processes and designing. In this FMEA method prioritization of the failure modes are based on Risk Priority Number (RPN). This RPN can be calculated by multiplying the scores of various risk factors and cate...

The method Promethee II has produced attractive results in the choice of the most satisfactory optimal solution of convex multiobjective problems. However, according to the current literature, it may not work properly with nonconvex problems. A modified version of this method, called multiplicative Promethee, is proposed in this paper. Both versions are applied to some analytical problems, prev...

This work first studies the effects of several Low Impact development methods on urban flood control. The Analytic Hierarchy Process-Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (AHP-PROMETHEE) combination method is then used to select best design. A drainage system in Golestan town Semnan under a 5-year return period investigated as case study. LID are selected based region...
