The process parameters' right choice is a major problem for researchers. The sectors' decision-makers must consider a large diversity of attributes based on a group of contradicting criteria. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques are applied to enhance the selection of these parameters. This paper examines using the VIKOR, MOORA, and TOPSIS methodologies to determine the optimal arrangement of processing factors in submerged arc welding (SAW). Consideration is given to one case study on optimization. This case study depends on the experimental work conducted on the SAW of Cr-Mo-V steel. Significant parameters of the input process are wire feed, welding current, voltage, and speed. The influence of these factors on different responses about weld penetration, bead width, tensile strength, weld reinforcement, and weld hardness is investigated. Comparing the TOPSIS, VIKOR, and MOORA procedures demonstrate that all three techniques have shown similar results and are interchangeable. The Taguchi analysis-based TOPSIS technique is compared to the QO-Jaya algorithm, Jaya algorithm, and (TLBO) teaching learning-based optimization.
