“…Nowadays, multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are gaining importance due to their inherent ability to judge different alternative scenarios for possible selection of the best alternative which may be further analysed in depth for its final implementation. As a consequence, many models and methodologies for MCDM have been developed for numerous applications (see for example, Chan and Lau, 1997;Choo et al, 1999;Raveh, 2000).…”

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that most decision makers are not only concerned with the financial implications of information technology/system (IT/IS) projects, but they are also concerned with other objectives such as competitive advantage, market share and future growth. Nowadays, multi‐criteria decision‐making methods are gaining importance due to their inherent ability to judge different alternative scenarios for possible selection of the best alternative. This paper provides a decision‐making framework for senior executives when selecting innovative IT/IS projects. The proposed framework is based on the multi‐criteria utility theory (MCUT) combined with information economics principles to select IT/IS project(s) based on “business value” and “risk” criteria. MCUT has the advantage of taking into consideration the decision maker’s preferences in the form of utility functions defined over a set of tangible and intangible criteria. To illustrate the application of the proposed framework, a hypothetical case study is provided, where input elicited from four engineering professionals is used to develop utility functions for a predefined set of selection criteria.

“…The system provides access to facts, policies, strategies and decision support tools relevant to vegetation management in the region. C. Chan et al [11] described an Expert's System of Architectural Framework for Engineering Selection. Some multiple criteria decision models that involve user preferences or weights are also incorporated in the framework.…”

An analysis of multiple criteria decision support systems and facilities management web-based automation applications that were developed by researchers from various countries assisted the authors to create their own Multiple Criteria Decision Support Web-Based System for Facilities Management (DSS-FM). DSS-FM differs from others in its use of new multiple criteria analysis methods as were developed by the authors. The database of a facilities management was developed and provides a comprehensive assessment of alternative versions from the economic, technical, technological, infrastructure, qualitative, technological, legislative and other perspectives. Based on the above complex databases, the developed Multiple Criteria Decision Support Web-Based System for Facilities Management enables the user to analyse alternatives quantitatively and conceptually (i.e. the text, formula, schemes, etc.). Applying the DSS-FM may increase the efficiency of calculators, analysers, software, neural networks, expert and decision support systems and e-commerce.
