Implementation of Wood-Framed Buildings in the Nordic Region: A MADAMOS (an Integrated Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Profitable Realization Alternatives) Method

“…In this section, the research details the methodology employed in this study, which constitutes a novel and integrated approach aimed at optimizing sustainable implementation processes for light wood-framed buildings in the Nordic region. The proposed decision support system, MADAMOS (An Integrated Multi-Criteria Decision-Making The decision-making process for enterprise realization comprises three distinct phases [74,75,81]:…”

“…Decision-makers normalized the criteria measures to facilitate comparative analysis. The aim of normalization is to replace the initial measure x ij by its ratio to the maximum value of the measure, e.g., the criterion c j for all alternatives [74,75]. The normalization process brings the values from decreasing to increasing, depending on whether the criterion is a benefit or cost type.…”

“…Researchers developed various methods for determining criteria weights, including LINMAP [66], the eigenvector method, the entropy method, and more [60,61,[67][68][69][70][71][72]. Decision-makers normalize weights to sum to 1 [73] with methods like the Neumann-Morgenstern or the Pattern method [74,75].…”

“…The practical solution is characterized by the lowest or highest synthetic mark depending on minimization or maximization normalization. Analyzed alternatives are ranked based on synthetic values calculated through summation indicators with or without criteria weights [75].…”

“…The analysis aims to determine optimal and sustainable processes for realizing prefabricated wood-framed houses [74,75,81].…”
