Criteria system defining in multicriteria decision making problem at transport-storage system elements choise

Abstract

Combining the methods for determining the relative importance of criteria and classical alternatives ranking methods, the optimal decision is made about certain multicriteria problem regardless the nature of parameters describing it. Solving the decision - making problem requires firstly defining the criteria system, and then determining their relative importance. Starting base at criteria defining is the fact that at solving each problem we can adopt various number and kind of criteria depending on corresponding decisions and information available. Also, an unique set of criteria of considered problem usually is not available to a decision maker. In this work the correlation test was used for getting the set of independent criteria and reducing their number to operating and acceptable level.
