Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for selecting the preferred alternatives of Multiple- Attribute Decision-Making(MADM) problem using the Entropy measure. A decision-maker who wants to estimate exactly the weight to be applied to her/his MADM problem is usually confronted with the embarrassing situation where, although there exist a variety of weighting methods, it is hard to find a right procedure to choose a pertinent value To remedy this uncomfortable situation, the Entropy measure commonly used in information theory, Is proposed as a tool that can be used by decision-makers to more efficiently select the preferred alternatives. As a result, the method proposed in the paper can be significant in that relatively easy to understand by decision-makers.
