Comparison of Max100, SWARA and Pairwise Weight Elicitation Methods

Abstract

Decision making is used in every part of life and realised by each action taken. The presence of correct and satisfactory solution to problems is very important for person, institution and organizations. Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques are developed for this purpose. Based upon the former studies, it is seen that weight elicitation methods used in solving MCDM problems, have an important role at defining the importance of criteria and obtaining the best and satisfying results for decision makers. Theaim of the paperis to compare the results of range variability between the criteria for Max100, Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and Pairwise Comparison weight elicitation methods and to give suggestion about conditions of using of the methods. It is the first time SWARA is compared with Pairwise Comparison and Max100 methods, and it makes this study different from all the others. When results of the study is considered, it is seen that variability of Pairwise Comparison method is higher than Max100 and SWARA methods. Besides, Max100 is found as the easiest method to use, and Pairwise Comparison method’s way of scoring is defined as the most reliable. In the light of the results obtained from the methods, some conditions of usage are suggested.
