This study discusses the strengths and weaknesses of MAUT, AHP, and PROMETHEE as multicriteria decision making aids with respect to their underlying assumptions and axioms, and suggest the usefulness and limitations of PROMETHEE as a outranking method. For the demonstration purpose, we provide a numerical example to evaluate 3 domestic life insurers using PROMETHEE.

This paper presents the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to evaluate water resources plan for agricultural reservoir. Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to estimate weight and priority of alternatives to find out the most reasonable and efficient way of water resources assessment. The 6 criteria that both decision maker and beneficiary are satisfied have been identified to secure agricultural water resources and then the priority of 10 subcriteria was set. An enhanced PROMETHEE-AHP model was used to perform pairwise comparison and find out the priority of each alternative because the existing decision making model have uncertainty and ambiguity. Comparison analysis of decision making models was carried out to find a way of suitable decision making and validity of PROMETHEE-AHP model was suggested.

The building construction projects include a variety of risk factors due to uncertainties. To succeed in the projects, it is important how risks are managed. Risk management is composed of identification, analysis and response. Especially, the risk analysis is important to objectively calculate significance of risk factors. This paper evaluates a method to find priorities of risks using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The method has some defects; (1) the consistency becomes weak as the number of pair-wise compared risks is large, and (2) the input and output procedures are complex when risks are added to or removed from a risk database. Thus the paper adopt the PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization METHod Enrichment Evaluations) analysis process which is able to overcome the limitation of the AHP restricted to 9 risk factors. The PROMETHEE method makes the procedure of risk analysis simple, when the risk factors pull out and put in the risk database. The purpose of this study is to prove the possibility of the PROMETHEE analysis process by being compared with AHP.

The building construction projects include a variety of risk factors due to uncertainties. To succeed in the projects, it is important how risks are managed. Risk management processes identification, analysis and response. Especially, the analysis process is important to objectively identify importance and priority among risk factors. The purpose of this study is to develop the effective analysis process by studying and supplement the problem of the AHP analysis method. The study provides a analysis process to use the PROMETHEE analysis method proposed.

Reconstruction and remodeling have been introduced as a part of renewal (redevelopment) projects for old apartments built after the mid-1970's and government policies for revitalizing each project has been changed continually. However, the frequent changes of the policies have caused conflicts among business entities in selecting business methods. The conflicts from their early stages have made serious problems in the entire business process. Therefore, this study deduced factors of business selection by applying comparison analysis between the two business projects on how certain factors have an influence on selecting reconstruction and remodeling business projects. Based on the analysis, four categories and 26 factors were finally selected. After then, the priority of each selection factor was deduced through the AHP method and PROMETHEE method used for analysis of relative importance and impact values regarding to the business selection.

The Korean government has been pursuing many supporting programs to enhance the competition of water transportation companies in recent years. To implement the policies effectively, which needs its monitering and evaluates about their business performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the business performance of water transportation company groups and determine the outranking between the groups using the Integrated Fuzzy AHP-PROMETHEE.. To achieve this purpose, first, the companies were classified into seven alternative company groups and the criteria for their evaluation was extracted Second, the weights of the criteria, by maritime and port expert survey, were calculated using the Fuzzy AHP. This paper, finally, determined the total priority orders of their company groups as the link Fuzzy PROMETHEE II with weights of the criteria and the local priority orders between them using the Fuzzy PROMETHEE I. In the proposal for this model, thus was collected four criteria such as growth ability, beneficial ability, technical ability, and productive ability. Through the result of this evaluation, the other marine transportation services group was determined as the highest outranking but the inland passenger & cargo transportation services group was lowest. Thus, the developing plan of the productive ability for the other marine transportation services group should be reviewed to continue its good performance, and all off the criteria for the inland passenger & cargo transportation services group to raise the performance should be reviewed.

Since sewer rehabilitation program requires long construction period and enormous capital investment, determination of rehabilitation priorities is important with systematic planning considering appropriate evaluation parameters. In this research, we applied PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Evaluations) known as very objective and scientific multi-criteria decision-making analysis, using the weights determined by AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) for the selected sewer evaluation items to calculate the rehabilitation priorities for each sewer sub-catchment in basin Gusan 1 of Seoul. Preference functions and preference thresholds were estimated for each criterion of ratio of lack of hydraulic capacity of sewers, defect ratio, ratio of sewers with velocity less than its minimum criteria, and density of sewers in the sub-catchment. As a result, it was found that region d had the first priority among four sub-catchments. For each and every sewer located in region d, we could also rank sewers to be rehabilitated urgently.

최근들어 Water Security에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있지만 국내의 경우 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 아직 진행되지 않았고 상수도관망시스템의 오염예방 및 위험관리에 대한 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이며 특히 상수도관망시스템의 위험성 및 취약성에 대한 연구는 전무한 상태이다. 이러한 상수도관망시스템의 위험도와 관련된 여러 위험요소들은 인명의 피해, 재산상의 피해, 환경적 피해, 시스템의 피해 그리고 사회적 불안등 여러 기준을 고려하여 평가되어야 한다. 이 문제는 다기준의사결정(multi-criteria decision making)문제로서 평가기준들(criteria) 간의 상충관계(trade-off)로 인하여 판단이 모호한 대안들을 PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization METHod Enrichment Evaluations) 기법을 이용하여 평가하였다. PROMETHEE는 선호의 유출량(leaving flow)과 유입량(entering flow)의 개념을 이용하여 여러 대안들의 순위선호(outranking)를 산정하는 기법으로, 의사결정자(decision matter)가 비교적 쉽게 이해할 수 있으며 기존의 AHP$\cdot$ANP와는 달리 명확한 판단이 어려운 대안들에 대해서는 비교불가능한(incomparable) 대안으로 분류한다. 이와 같은 위험도 평가결과는 위기상황에 대한 대처방안을 제시할 의사결정시스템 구축의 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Sometimes, there exist many alternatives for doing a SOC project. However, the limitation of the fund requires the determination of investment priority for the alternatives. This may be performed according to the degree of importance of individual alternatives. Especially, the river improvement project at the downstream of dams has complex and various values and this characteristics make it difficult decision-maker to do reasonable determination. This study aims to determine an investment priority of 33 alternatives in the river improvement project at the downstream of dams using PROMETHEE method which has advantages in determining the priority. In this study, we determined evaluation criteria and attributes by considering the functions and objectives of the river improvement project at the downstream of dams. The eigenvector method in AHP was used to estimate the relative importance of evaluation criterion. Based on the estimation, we determined investment priority of 33 alternatives by PROMETHEE method and the priority of alternatives was derived in the order of Juam regulation dam, Unmun dam, Yongdam dam and so on. The results of this study could provide a reasonable standard to the decision-maker for the determination of investment priority of alternatives.
