Physical and chemical properties of biodiesel are influenced by structural features of the fatty acids, such as chain length, degree of unsaturation and branching of the carbon chain. This study investigated if microalgal fatty acid profiles are suitable for biodiesel characterization and species selection through Preference Ranking Organisation Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and ...

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...

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 a...

The Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) has been a fast growing area of operations research and management science during the last decades, while the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) is one of the well-known MCDA methods with ranking the alternatives from the best to the worst. In this paper, we propose a new outranking method called Prioritized...

Important elements for the success of the PROMETHEE methods have been the development of numerous extensions and interactive software. The purpose of the paper is to show the evolution of the PROMETHEE methods and of their software implementation over time. Starting with PROMCALC and the first visual sensitivity analysis tools (Walking Weights), we stress less known extensions of the methodolog...

Measuring quality of object oriented (OO) software is challenging mainly because we are facing a number of more or less dependent parameters that characterize the properties of good OO design. This paper proposes a combination of AHP and PROMETHEE for measuring object oriented software design. We have compared AHP and PROMETHEE performance for such purpose in the ISAHP 2011. The result suggeste...

The method Promethee II has produced attractive results in the choice of the most satisfactory optimal solution of convex multiobjective problems. However, according to the current literature, it may not work properly with nonconvex problems. A modified version of this method, called multiplicative Promethee, is proposed in this paper. Both versions are applied to some analytical problems, prev...

This research paper aims to give a new dimension to the decision maker by proposing a hybrid model of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) in 3PL selection. It uses an integrated approach of AHP-PROMTHEE as a selection methodology to select an efficient and requisite 3PL firm for a manufacturer. A relatively new and us...
