A mixed-integer linear programming model for aggregating multi–criteria decision making methods

Selecting an MCDM method to use in any decision-making problem is always a difficult issue regarding that there no agreement generally on which the most appropriate one. This paper addressed proposal of hybrid approach for this problem. Under assumption superiority among well-established and accepted methods, we defined maximin strategy based fact lowest correlation between MCDMs proposed terms alternative rankings should be as high possible. Even though methods often rank alternatives differently, many perform similar ranking due sharing alike mathematical operations. To avoid positive bias towards these integrated approach, focused prioritizing scheme supports different rankings. also contributed hinder selecting with constraining compound effect We developed model combining them by using binary integer linear programming model. compared some well-known results revealed produced better outcomes obtaining desired outputs.
