Survey of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods for Complex Environments

Abstract

Decision-making can be a challenge, and that challenge increases in complex environments due to factors such as uncertainty, risk, the sheer amount of information to consider, criticality of time, and severity of the consequence. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) is an invaluable tool that can be used as a decision aid to help determine a favorable solution. This report presents a survey and description of the application of MCDM methods used for problems in complex environments found in literature. Proposed is a taxonomy to assist in determining what MCDM method to select for a specific complex environment.
