| Course contents : | This course is an initiation with the decision-making aid seen under the multicriteria analysis standpoint. It begins with some examples and a short history entitled: "Of the aggregation of the votes to the Arrow's theorem". Then, two schools are presented in parallel: the French school with the methods of the type Condorcet (ELECTRE) and the American school with the methods of the type Borda (Composite Programming). Small simple examples make it possible to the student to seize the governing ideas of both methods and to compare them. |
|
| Course objective : | To understand the bases of the multicriteria analysis and to be able to carry out elementary calculations in EXCEL. |
|
| Prerequisites : | None. |
|
| Workshops : | Four to five students set up a group to which the professor proposes a real problem already dealt with. The students must simplify it by reducing the number of criteria and the number of actions. Then, they solve this new problem with the two methods seen with the course. Finally, each group presents its work at the other groups. The spokesman of the group is randomly drawn what implies that all the students must be able to present the work of their own group. |
