MCDM (1): Best-Worst Method (Part 1- Sample Example)

→BWM course: researchhub.or...
This video provides an introduction to the recently developed multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method called the best worst method (BWM) using the excel solver provided by the developer of the method Professor Jafar Rezaei. Note that sheet C3-C9 are used based on number of criteria you have in your study. For example, if your study design include 8 criteria, you will use C8.

Take the BWM short course: researchhub.org/course/best-worst-method/

[@sumankumardas4126]

Then why you dont choose the most imporatnt one , such as if Style is more important then price . Then the best criteria should be Style.

Why do these weights not match the values ​​shown in the web presentation?
In the presentation, using the model (2) the weights are: 0.2024,0.4609,0.1536,0.1345,0.0512.
Thanks

Hi
I can't find solver please help me how can I find weights

Thank you buddy for this video.

Welcome!

thanks:)

[@工業工程與管理系阮煌]

Could you give me references about "How many criteria is appropriate for using the BWM" , thank you

[@madhaveenarampanawa296]

Thank you for the video.
How to find the minimum sample size to use this method?

[@heenachoudhary]

Thank you for the video. Explained nicely. I have a query.... Is there any criteria to decide the minimum or maximum number of sample size required to collect data before proceeding with the BWM?

[@RESEARCHHUB]

It depends on your study. If it is a study in the context of a company where 5 managers are going to make the decisions, then 5 would be the recommended sample size. Usually 10 or higher is good. Studies exists with 3 to 6 observations (see www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652620322034) as well as with 40 to 100 observations (see doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.03.166).

Hello, I am also looking for the answer to this question ?

Hi

[@melikenurates3028]

Hi, do you have any solution without excel solver

[@RESEARCHHUB]

no, no possible. another approach would be to use matlab.

[@melikenurates3028]

@@RESEARCHHUB i got it thank you. i wonder another things, does this approach change when there is multi decision maker
