Observation

Algo 1: phase of computing criteria weights

All criteria selected for the assessment

Objective: calculate the significance weights of the selected criteria

Responsible tool: FAHP algorithm based on the geometric mean method

The weights reflecting the importance of each criterion

See Appendix A

Algo 2: phase of identification and evaluation of alternatives (Stage 1)

The values of the criteria already selected for the evaluation

Objective: identify and evaluate alternatives according to the values of the selected criteria over a specific period of time

Responsible tool: Mondrian OLAP server (Pentaho 2016)

Visualization of the results of the evaluation and classification of the alternatives

 

Algo 3: final evaluation phase of alternatives (Step 2)

Weight of criteria already calculated

Ranking of alternatives provided by OLAP analysis

Objective: evaluate the alternatives according to the weights of the selected criteria

Responsible tool: PROMETHEE multicriteria method

Final ranking results of the evaluation of alternatives

See Appendix B
