Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods and Problem Solving with MCDM Software

In order to produce an effective and rational solution to decision-making problems, the purpose of the task should be clearly formulated, a set of criteria should be defined, and the selected criteria should be weighted with the most appropriate method. It should be analyzed with scientific-based multi-criteria decision-making methods that allow researchers to choose the most effective and most appropriate solution among the available alternatives.
This book has several features. First, it will help researchers or decision makers find the necessary methods for the problems they need to analyze, by categorizing the methods as those that weight criteria and those that rank alternatives. Secondly, those who want to gain in-depth information about a particular method can access the "general information" section of each method. Third, a total of 27 methods used for weighting and ranking were solved with the developed MCDM software. It is thought that this will have two great benefits for the reader. By combining information and theoretical content, readers can easily see how the method works in practice through the example. They can also facilitate the decision-making processes they have to solve by seeing how the method can be used in practice. Fourth, they can benefit from the answers of the exercises solved by signing up on the website established as an online platform, and they can reach the solution of any decision problem within seconds by entering a new problem and using 27 methods defined in the system.
