Abstract
A multitude of methods exists for multiple criteria decision making. The methods vary by field of application, handling of subjective judgments, handling of uncertainty etc., and they are of varying degrees regarding usability, mathematical consistency and other criteria. This paper presents a framework for selecting an MCDM method in practical applications. Methods and potential evaluation criteria are pruned out by applying problem-specific knowledge via an expert system; the remaining methods are compared using decision analysis, and a method is recommended to the decision-maker. The framework is illustrated by showing how it applies to some problems in military acquisition.
