2.1 Introduction to Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
Analysis
Knowledge on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) can predate to the existence
of man. Analytical reasoning and approach is a feature possess by both humans and
animals. This, distinctive analytical knowledge gives an individual the potentials
to rationally perceive a problem and solves it critically with intelligence. However,
MCDM is known since the existence of man without proper documentation and
reference.
A renowned American polymath and scientist, Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790),
analysed critically on his logical and intellectual perception of using two sides
of opinions, contradicting them (Zionts 1979). In other words, Benjamin Franklin
argued on and against an opinion, then analyzed them both with a powerful demonstration. He analyzed arguments that are of similar importance, writing them on a
paper. After he made an equal balance, it was observed that one side has tremendous supportive argument remaining, which he considered as his decision. Benjamin
Franklin design of knowledge earned him a heroic place in drafting of the U.S declaration of Independence and the constitution and other logical negotiation such as that
of treaty of Paris.
In a similar work to Benjamin Franklin, Kuhn and Tucker in 1951 defined the
MCDM problem using the nonlinear programming condition to optimize the MCDA
problems while considering the criteria simultaneously (Charnes and Cooper 1961).
Other scientists such as Charnes, Cooper and Fergusson in 1955 established a brandname tagged “Goal Programming” which was later published in 1961 by Cooper and
Charnes, respectively (Charnes et al. 1978). Their work, attracted numerous writers
and scientists because of the relevance of the work across different fields. These
fields include operations research and management sciences. Many researchers and
publishers became interested in Cooper and Charnes and contributed immensely to
their work, among which include Stan Zionts and Bruno Contini. These individuals
mutually worked with cooper to develop and publish a model in 1968, known as the
“Multi-Criteria Negotiating Model”.
Zionts one of the researchers continued his worked in relation to his previous
work at Brussels, European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management and met
another fellow named Jyrki Wallenius in 1973. These duos worked amicably using
the “goal programming” and developed a “Zionts Wallanius” communicating procedures to solve many linear programming lapses. Subsequently the duos were also
