The Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) is a decision support system that is widely used for evaluating and comparing alternatives based on multiple criteria. In this study, we applied the SMART method to assess the relative importance of price, safety, energy efficiency, brand reputation, and warranty in car selection. We assigned scores to each car model for each criterion, weighted the criteria based on their relative importance, and calculated an overall score for each car model. The results of this study show that the SMART method is a simple and easy-to-use tool that can help in making informed decisions in car selection. The method allows for the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative criteria, making it versatile and applicable to a wide range of decision-making problems. Future research could focus on developing methods to address the limitations of the SMART method. Another area of research could be to integrate the SMART method with other decision-making tools, such as multi-criteria decision analysis or artificial intelligence, to improve its performance and applicability. Additionally, more research could be done on how to effectively use SMART method in real-life scenarios where the data is uncertain, incomplete and inconsistent
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
