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...

This paper introduces the application of the multicriteria method Promethee II to the selection of a portfolio manager. Such application involves four main steps: (1) defining the list of potential actions or solutions to the problem; (2) defining the list of relevant criteria; (3) evaluating the performance of each action based on each criterion; and (4) aggregating these performances with the...

Robust Ordinal Regression (ROR) supports Multiple Criteria Decision Process by considering all sets of parameters of an assumed preference model, that are compatible with preference information elicited set of parameters, respectively. In this paper, we propose an extension of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE methods to the case of the hierarchy of criteria, which was never considered before. Then, we ada...

In this paper, alternate schemes are examined and analysed aiming at the improvement of MSW management in small urban municipalities in Morocco. These schemes are estimated by developing and applying the PROMETHEE method consisting in a multi-criteria analysis of the parameters and the constraints bound to the financial, technical, environmental and social-institutional aspects. Thus, 10 altern...

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, ein Konzept zur Bewertung von Temperaturüberwachungssystemen zu entwickeln. Insbesondere galt es, deren unterschiedliche Potenziale zur Verbesserung des Kühlkettenmanagements in Fleisch erzeugenden Ketten darzustellen und zu rangieren. Die Grundlage der Konzeptentwicklung bildeten mehrere empirische und experimentelle Studien. Die Charakterisierung von Schlü...

In recent years, the e-government revolution has induced transformational economic and social shifts around the world. The main objective of this paper is to analyze and rank the e-government agricultural services provided by the Greek government in Citizens Services Center web portal. For this reason an analysis of all the official e-government agricultural and environmental services was made....

In this paper we extend the PROMETHEE methods to the case of interacting criteria on a bipolar scale, introducing the bipolar PROMETHEE method based on the bipolar Choquet integral. In order to elicit parameters compatible with preference information provided by the Decision Maker (DM), we propose to apply the Robust Ordinal Regression (ROR). ROR takes into account simultaneously all the sets o...

Group decision is usually understood as the reduction of different individual preferences on a given set to a single collective preference. At present, there are few approaches which solve the group ranking problem with multiple criteria in a widely acceptable way. Often, they rest on a poor heuristic which makes a decision about consensus ranking difficult to support. This paper presents an ex...

This paper deals with the problem of ranking several alternatives on the basis of a valued preference relation. We present a system of axioms which is shown to characterize a ranking method based on the Min operator that has been introduced in the literature. IIntroduction In order to compare a number of alternatives taking into account several criteria, many aggregation methods (e.g. ELECTRE I...
