There are two major divisions in decision-making situations with multiple objectives: multi-objective programming, which pertains to continuous variables, and discrete multicriteria decisions. This work focuses on the issue of discrete multicriteria decisions (DMD). These methods serve as support techniques for resolving situations where one must choose an alternative among several options.
The paper introduces a model from the French school—PROMETHEE—which centers around calculating the preferences of each alternative relative to the others for each criterion and then combines them. In the initial part of the paper, the classic version of the PROMETHEE method is presented. Subsequently, the possible transitions between non-preference and complete preference are clarified.The final part of the work proposes a variant for calculating transitions to avoid introducing additional subjectivity. Additionally, the aspect of decision sensitivity is considered.
The proposed category is based on the idea that quantitative methods are supportive tools in the decision-making process, which is a central theme in the management of all organizations, whether small or significant.
