Smart MCDM Decision Tool: An Intelligent Multi-Criteria Framework for Effective Decision Analysis and Selection
Keywords:
MCDM, Decision Making Tool, Entropy, Python, StreamlitAbstract
The Smart MCDM Decision Tool is a web-based system developed using Python and Streamlit to support users in making accurate and efficient decisions. The system combines the Entropy method with several Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques to evaluate alternatives based on multiple conflicting criteria. Users can enter raw data directly into the system, and the tool automatically generates the ranking results in a short time. The user-friendly interface makes the system suitable for users with limited programming knowledge. By automating the calculation process, the system reduces human error, improves accuracy, and increases the efficiency of decision-making activities.
