Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a method used to evaluate and compare different options based on multiple factors or criteria. Instead of choosing based on a single aspect, MCDA helps organize and weigh various considerations—like cost, quality, and time—to identify the best overall choice. It’s especially useful when decisions are complex, ensuring that all relevant factors are systematically considered. By applying MCDA, decision-makers can make more informed, transparent, and balanced choices amidst competing priorities.
