composed of four features, namely, alternatives, criteria, the weights of criteria, and the performance value of alternatives. Additionally, the importance of normalizing the element of the decision‐matrix, which is a mathematical procedure through which the preference values of the decision‐matrix are rendered dimensionless, was also reviewed in this chapter. Lastly, two of the majorly implemented, basic MADM methods, namely, WSM and WPM, were presented, and stepwise instructions for each method were listed. The WSM and WPM are compensatory methods founded on the assumption of criteria independence. Tough and more advanced methods are available, the WSM and WPM remain relevant. They constitute the foundation on which most state‐of‐the‐arts MADM methods are founded upon.
