Single Objective Decision Making (SODM) | o Decision Tree. | (Muller & Wiederhold, 2002) |
o Multiple Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT). | (Chang, 2008) |
o Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP): It is used for multi criteria analysis that allows the representation of the interaction of various factors in a complex situation. In this method a hierarchical structure is developed to represent the factors given in the alternative selection problem. | (Saaty, 1990), (Chang, 1996) (Grimaldi & Rippa, 2011) |
o Fuzzy AHP. | (hang, D-Y., 1996), (Chi, et al., 2008), (Sarfaraz, Jenab, and Weinsier, 2012), Sarfaraz & Jenab, 2012), Jenab et al., 2012), (Sarfaraz, Mukerjeeb,, and Jenab, 2012) |
Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) | o The MCDM methods identify a preferred course of actions for the decision maker. | (Steuer, et al., 2003) |
o Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM). | (Cebeci, U. 2009) |
o - Multiple Objective Decision Making (MODM). | (Hwang et al., 1993) |
Hybrid MCDM | o Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory Technique (DEMATEL): It is used to make a network relationship map representing the interrelations among criteria. | (Tzeng et al, 2007), (Zhu, 2010) |
o Analytic Network Process (ANP): It is an extension of AHP that resolves interdependency among decision criteria. | (Perçin,2010), (Saaty, 1990), (Wu et al., 2007), (Liu, 2008), (Tsenga et al., 2011) |
o SAW VIKOR: It solves a multi-criteria decision making problem with non-commensurable and conflicting criteria to rank and the alternatives based on the highest score. | (O-Yang et al., 2009) |
Other Multiple Attribute Decision Making (OMADM) | o Conjunctive and disjunctive methods. | (Gilbride et al., 2004) |
o Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation (TOPSIS): It is a distance-based method that uses the shortest and farthest distances from positive and negative ideal solutions to find the ranking of the alternatives. | Opricovic & Tzeng, 2004), (Monavvarian et al., 2011) |
