Application de l’analyse multicritère à l’évaluation des critères et indicateurs

Journal Articles & Books
December, 2000

Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) is a decision-making tool developed for complex problems.

By using MCA the members don't have to agree on the relative importance of the Criteria or the rankings of the alternatives.
