Abstract
Steps 1–6 of our general MCDM procedure emphasize the generation and display of tradeoff information, a major purpose of MCDM methods. A second major purpose is the quantification of value judgments that can lead to a choice from among the alternatives. This purpose is the subject of Steps 7–9, which we discuss in this chapter.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in itSHAKESPEAR, Hamlet: II(ii)21
A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delightOLD TESTAMENT, Proverbs 11:1
