In this article, use techniques discussed. specific objective research construction an method express synthetic judgement—based acknowledged, parameters—within procedure. According literature review, results regarding procedure, its possible supporting methodologies, Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) appears be most SEA-coherent approach. Moreover, ELECTRE family has shown highest suitability perform phase SEA. Hence, operational development III herein proposed applied case study.
