Comparison of Multi-Criteria Group Decision-Making Methods for Urban Sewer Network Plan Selection

Abstract: Selecting a suitable sewer network plan for a city is a complex and challenging task that requires discussion among a group of experts and the consideration of multiple conflicting criteria with different measurement units. A number of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have been proposed for analyzing sewer network selection problems, each having their own distinct advantages and limitations. Although many decision-making techniques are available, decision-makers are confronted with the difficult t… Show more

“…We have used the DELPHI method [ 86 ] to complete the established list of stakeholders and to prioritize them according to their degree of “having an influence on” and “being impacted by” the design of the transportation strategy of the pharmaceutical products in the Moroccan public sector. A key advantage of the Delphi method is its openness to a diverse set of expert opinions without having to bring everyone together for a physical meeting [ 87 ]. Also, it is considered to be an effective method for gaining judgments on complex matters where precise information is unavailable [ 87 ].…”

“…Additionally, it is frequently stated in the literature that there are doubts about the objectivity of the evaluation, as the results are largely based on the subjectivity of decision makers [ 22 ]. Another disadvantage of AHP is the loss of information encountered when the good and bad scores given by experts to some criteria compensate each other [ 23 ]. Moreover, another weakness is that the difficulty of AHP calculations depends on the number of criteria and alternatives [ 23 ].…”

Moreover, another weakness is that the difficulty of AHP calculations depends on the number of criteria and alternatives [ 23 ]. However, AHP was preferred in this study, because it can solve complex decision-making problems by handling qualitative and quantitative variables together and takes into account the priorities of the decision maker.…”
