Optimising Assault Boat Selection for Military Operations: An Application of the DIBR II-BM-CoCoSo MCDM Model
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Management Decision - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In the pivotal task of selecting an assault boat conducive for military operations, especially amidst the challenges posed by water obstacles, the utilisation of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods surfaces as vital. In this investigation, a meticulous application of the DIBR II (Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked criteria II) - BM (Bonfferoni Mean) – CoCoSo (COmbined COmpromise SOlution) multi-criteria decision-making model is performed. Initially, the weight coefficients of the criteria were determined via the DIBR II method, with expert opinions being cohesively aggregated using BM operators. Subsequently, the CoCoSo method was employed to discern the optimal alternative among various assault boats. A comprehensive analysis, entailing the examination of the sensitivity of the output results to alterations in the weight coefficients of the criteria, was conducted post-final ranking of alternatives. Noteworthy is the finding that negligible deviations in defining the weight coefficients by experts do not impose a significant impact on the ultimate selection of the optimal alternative. Furthermore, a comparative analysis alongside other MCDM methods corroborated not only the efficacy but also the superiority of the implemented model. The insights derived underscore the practical applicability, stability, and accuracy of the proposed model in choosing assault boats for military operations. This exploration fortifies the decision-making process in military contexts related to overcoming water obstacles and portends potential applicability in domains necessitating intricate multi-criteria decision-making.
