Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to teach the applications of multi-attribute decision-making and multi-objective decision-making methods as two main categories of MCDM. It also aims to ensure that our students can apply these techniques to different decision-making problems that they may encounter in the academic or real-life environment.
Course Content: Introduction to MCDM; Decion-Makin Problem Structuring and Applications; SAW; AHP; ANP; TOPSIS; BWM; WSM; GP; Lexicographic method; ε-constraint method; Sensitivity Analysis; Decision-making under risk and uncertainty

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) To understand and apply basic concepts of MCDM (MADM, MODM, Applications, etc.)
2) To recognize decision-making problems and define the effective criteria in conjunction with the alternatives at hand
3) To be familiar with well-known MADM approaches (such as AHP, ANP, TOPSIS, BWM, etc.)
4) To be familiar with well-known MODM approaches (such as Goal Programming, Weighted Sum, ε-Constraint, etc.)
5) To utilize EXCEL for applying MCDM methods
6) To be able to apply the MCDM methods on decision-making and optimization problems
