Abstract COVID‐19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges to the world health system, prompting academics and professionals develop appropriate solutions. Researchers reported different vaccines introduced by institutions companies around globe, which are at stages of development. However, research developing an integrated framework for selecting ranking optimal potential vaccine against is min...

The aim of the work is to chose the best heating system for a museum building. The paper presents the criteria describing this problem. The three technically acceptable heating systems have been identified. The method allowing for the multi-criterion analysis has been selected with the assumption that the final result will be a final ranking of all alternatives. The ELECTRE III method has been ...

This note deals with the problem of choosing on the basis of a fuzzy preference relation. In the area of MCDM, such a problem occurs with outranking methods using fuzzy relations such as ELECTRE III. In this note, we study a choice procedure based on the ‘min in favor’. We show that it is the only one to satisfy a system of three independent axioms.

In ELECTRE methods, the construction of an outranking relation amounts at validating or invalidating, for any pair of alternatives (a; b), the assertion ‘‘a is at least as good as b’’. This comparison is grounded on the evaluation vectors of both alternatives, and on additional information concerning the decision maker s preferences, accounting for two conditions: concordance and non-discordanc...

Purpose Making techniques PROMETHEE, direction of research in this emerging field. Design/Methodology/Approach: literature related to MCDM techniques PROMETHEE, ELECTRE, VIKOR and TOPSIS. Literature has been segregated to understand various issues and work related to MCDM techniques PROMETHEE, ELECTRE, VIKOR and TOPSIS. A detailed review is used to sort out the literature and develop the resear...

In a R&D department, several projects may have to be implemented simultaneously within a certain period of time by a limited number of human resources with diverse skills. This paper proposes an optimisation model for the allocation of multi-skilled human resources to R&D projects, considering individual workers as entities having different knowledge, experience and ability. The model focuses o...

We introduce the principle of robust ordinal regression to group decision. We consider the main multiple criteria decision methods to which robust ordinal regression has been applied, i.e., UTA and GRIP methods, dealing with choice and ranking problems, UTADIS , dealing with sorting (ordinal classification) problems, and ELECTRE , being an outranking method applying robust ordinal regression to...
