There are several methods for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) such as multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP. However, these methods are compensatory optimization approaches for which bad score on some criteria can be compensated by excellent scores on other criteria. So, the Elimination and Choice Translating Reality III (ELECTRE I...

The ELECTRE family of decision aid methods are well-known approaches in the field of multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA). Different ELECTRE methods can be used for choice problem, ranking problem and sorting problem respectively. These methods are characterized by outranking relations and exploitation procedures. Different definitions of the outranking relations result in the difference of...

When considering Electre s valued outranking relations, aggregation/disaggregation methodologies have difficulties in taking discordance (veto) into account. We present a partial inference procedure to compute the value of the vetorelated parameters that best restore a set of outranking statements (i.e., examples that an Electre model should restore) provided by a decision maker, given fixed va...

The aim of this research is to propose an improved multidimensional quality life index, which could replace the current methodology designed by Eurostat and applied national statistical institutes European Union member states. novelty proposed index that it based on a non-compensatory multicriteria decision method (ELECTRE III). All other indices compensatory aggregation methods at some stage i...

A modified version of the multi-criteria decision aid, ELECTRE III has been developed to account for uncertainty in criteria weightings and threshold values. The new procedure, called ELECTRE-SS, modifies the exploitation phase in ELECTRE III, through a new definition of the pre-order and the introduction of a ranking index (RI). The new approach accommodates cases where incomplete or uncertain...

tract: ELECTRE II and III methods enjoy a wide acceptance in solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) lems. Research results in this paper reveal that there are some compelling reasons to doubt the correctness of roposed rankings when the ELECTRE II and III methods are used. In a typical test we first used these ods to determine the best alternative for a given MCDM problem. Next we random...

In the multicriteria strategic planning of an organization, management should often be aware of employees’ resistance to change before making new decisions; otherwise, a chosen strategy, though technologically acceptable, may not be efficient in the long term. This paper, using a sample case study within an organization, shows how different versions of ELECTRE methods can be used in choosing ef...
