PROMETHEE I-II-III Methods

The Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE) methods was first introduced by Brans, Vincke, and Mareschal in 1986 (Brans and De Smet in Multiple criteria decision analysis, Springer, New York, 2016 [25]; Brans and Mareschal in Multiple criteria decision analysis: state of the art surveys, Springer, New York, pp. 163–186, 2005 [26]; Greco et al. in Multiple criteria decision analysis, 2016 [27]) which has been widely used so far. As the name indicates, the providers of this technique have sought to find a basic solution to improve decision-making evaluation. Therefore, it is recognized as an efficient method. The PROMETHEE I method only examines the obtained output and input flows and ranks alternatives partially.
