Description

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) stands at the forefront of operations research, dedicated to developing sophisticated computational and mathematical tools to assist decision-makers in evaluating performance criteria objectively.

For the first time on Udemy, we're excited to introduce a comprehensive course that dives deep into the diverse world of MCDM methodologies. Designed specifically for students, researchers, and industry professionals, this practical course aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application.

Our unique approach to exploring each MCDM methodology unfolds in three distinct phases:

  1. Introduction to Theory: We begin with a thorough exploration of the foundational principles underlying each method.

  2. Hands-on Implementation: Participants will learn to apply these methods using Microsoft Excel, emphasizing practical skills.

  3. Coding with Matlab: The course culminates with participants coding the methodologies in Matlab, enhancing their technical proficiency.

Course Highlights Include:

  • Fundamentals of MCDM

  • Simple Additive Weightage (SAW)

  • Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

  • Analytic Network Process (ANP)

  • Technique for Order Preference and Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)

  • Elimination Et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE)

  • Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE)

  • VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR)

  • Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)

  • Grey Relational Analysis (GRA)

  • Multi-objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA)

  • Complex Proportion Assessment (COPRAS)

  • Additive Ratio Assessment (ARM-ARAS)

  • Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS)

  • Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA)

  • COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment (CODAS)

  • Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS)

  • Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to COmpromise Solution (MARCOS)

  • CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC)

  • Entropy Weighting Technique

The course is further enhanced with a wealth of coding tutorials, offering students numerous opportunities to solidify their understanding through practical application.

Upon completing this course, participants will possess the skills to adeptly use Excel and Matlab for addressing various MCDM challenges, laying a solid foundation for mastering additional MCDM techniques.
