A Proposed Method for Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making: An Application to Site Selection
Abstrak
In the real world, decision-making process is related to alternative evaluation with respect to multiple conflicting criteria. In this paper, a hybrid group approach to solve the site selection problem is developed by integrating two methods which are the Best Worst Method (BWM) and Evaluation based on Distance from Average (EDAS). The multi-criteria group decision-making methods aggregate expert preferences and present the best agreement. BWM method is used to do pairwise comparisons in a structured way to determine the criteria weight. EDAS is a method used for alternative ranking which is useful for the decision issues that contain conflicting criteria. In order to show the procedures and the application of the developed method, a case study for site selection of plastic manufacturing company is developed. A comparison made between the proposed method and the AHP method is developed to ensure that the proposed method offers reliable results. Also, sensitivity analysis is conveyed for robustness validation.
