Abstract
A multiple attribute decision making (simply MADM) problem usually comprises a finite number of explicitly given alternative designs and a set of performance attributes. Design selection involves either choosing the most favourable design from the alternative set or ranking all the alternative designs with regard to all attributes. A MADM problem may have either qualitative or quantitative data. More generally, MADM problems may involve both types of data, and approaches for dealing with these will be investigated in Section 3.4.
