Preference Ranking Organization Method Of Enrichment Evaluation (Promethee)

This paper gives an overview of the PROMETHEE methodology for MCDM. It starts with general comments on Multicriterion problems, stressing that a Multicriterion problem cannot be treated without additional information related to the preferences and the priorities of the decision-makers. The information requested by PROMETHEE is particularly clear and easy to define for both decision-makers and analysts. It consists in a preference function associated to each criterion as well as weights describing their relative importance. The PROMETHEE I. the PROMETHEE II complete ranking, as well as the visual interactive module arc then described and commented. The two next sections are devoted to the PROMETHEE VI sensitivity analysis procedure (human brain) and to the PROMETHEE V procedure for multiple selections of alternatives under constrains. An overview of the PROMETHEE procedure for group decision making is then given. Finally the DECISION LAB software implementation of the PROMETEE methodology is described using the case study of begampur branch canal a numerical example.
