Abstract

This chapter explores the application of the ELECTRE method in both precise and fuzzy modes for decision-making. It discusses the concepts, strengths, and weaknesses of the method. The chapter covers the precise mode, addressing issues such as score assignment and rank reversal. It also introduces the fuzzy mode, incorporating fuzzy logic and sets for handling uncertainty. Practical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of ELECTRE in various domains. This chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to utilize ELECTRE for informed decision-making.
