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...

Often decisions taken in organizations are made by a group of people, and in order to build a collective decision, the preferences of individuals must be considered. The two most useful approaches to aggregating individual preferences are the aggregation of individual judgments and the aggregation of individual priorities. This paper focuses on the latter approach and proposes a multicriteria g...

Using improvements to the recently published m-polar fuzzy set (mFS) elimination and choice translating reality-I (ELECTRE-I) approach for calculating criteria weights, selection of a Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) process problem from industry is solved in this research. The weights ELECTRE-I method are evaluated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Revised Simos' method. For ELECTRE fami...

This paper presents a new method for multiple criteria ordinal classification (sorting) problems. This type of problem requires the different classes or categories to be pre-defined and ordered, from the best to the worst or from the worst to the best. The actions (not necessarily known a priori) are assigned to the different ordered classes. Several ELECTRE type methods were designed to deal w...

This document is the User Manual for the decision support software IRIS Interactive Robustness analysis and parameters' Inference for multicriteria Sorting problems (Version 2). This tool has been built to support the assignment of actions (alternatives, projects, candidates) described by their evaluation (performance) at multiple dimensions (criteria) to a set of predefined ordered categories,...

Outsourcing plays an important role in the success of organizations. One of the risks associated with outsourcing is inappropriate contractor selection which significantly influences the implementation of projects in terms of time, quality, and cost. In this study, we applied multi-criteria decision-making techniques in order to determine the best contractor using criteria such as reputation, o...

Picture fuzzy set (PFS) is more comprehensive tool than intuitionistic (IFS) for modeling the uncertain decision-making problems. In this paper, a new picture entropy measure proposed and proved that satisfies axiomatic definition of measures sets. Besides this, useful mathematical properties are also investigated. The justification established by discussing its particular cases compares it wit...

ELECTRE TRI is a set of methods designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced method uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two methods. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one method can also be obtained with the other method, after a suitabl...

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 ...

The intention of this article is to perform a brief analysis of portfolio management in Brazil, using research conducted by the Project Management Institute through pmsurvey.org, which provides consolidated information on how companies plan and manage their portfolios and projects. Based on the identification of latent need for improvement in the portfolio management process, this study propose...
