There are several methods for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) such as multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP. However, these methods are compensatory optimization approaches for which bad score on some criteria can be compensated by excellent scores on other criteria. So, the Elimination and Choice Translating Reality III (ELECTRE I...

The ELECTRE family of decision aid methods are well-known approaches in the field of multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA). Different ELECTRE methods can be used for choice problem, ranking problem and sorting problem respectively. These methods are characterized by outranking relations and exploitation procedures. Different definitions of the outranking relations result in the difference of...

The aim of this research is to propose an improved multidimensional quality life index, which could replace the current methodology designed by Eurostat and applied national statistical institutes European Union member states. novelty proposed index that it based on a non-compensatory multicriteria decision method (ELECTRE III). All other indices compensatory aggregation methods at some stage i...

A modified version of the multi-criteria decision aid, ELECTRE III has been developed to account for uncertainty in criteria weightings and threshold values. The new procedure, called ELECTRE-SS, modifies the exploitation phase in ELECTRE III, through a new definition of the pre-order and the introduction of a ranking index (RI). The new approach accommodates cases where incomplete or uncertain...

This paper proposes a novel approach to cope with the multi-criteria group decision-making problems. We give the pairwise comparisons based on the best-worst-method (BWM), which can decrease comparison times. Additionally, our comparison results are determined with the positive and negative aspects. In order to deal with the decision matrices effectively, we consider the elimination and choice ...

tract: ELECTRE II and III methods enjoy a wide acceptance in solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) lems. Research results in this paper reveal that there are some compelling reasons to doubt the correctness of roposed rankings when the ELECTRE II and III methods are used. In a typical test we first used these ods to determine the best alternative for a given MCDM problem. Next we random...

. ABC analysis is one of the most widely used techniques in inventory management to classify items into three ordered categories called A, B and C, where category A contains the most important items and category C includes the least important ones. The ABC classification of inventory items is based on their performance expressed by weighted scores. In this paper, a new ABC classification model ...

In this paper the authors carry out a multiple criteria evaluation of 40 characteristics of e-learning platforms, in order to find the most suitable to meet the needs of an e-learning course for higher schools with Agricultural and Forestry content. The evaluation data came from a Delphi survey method, where experts’ opinions are reflected. These data were introduced in ELECTRE III, a multi-cri...

The aim of the work is to chose the best heating system for a museum building. The paper presents the criteria describing this problem. The three technically acceptable heating systems have been identified. The method allowing for the multi-criterion analysis has been selected with the assumption that the final result will be a final ranking of all alternatives. The ELECTRE III method has been ...
