The Effect and Impact of the Electre Method for Sensitivity Testing Based on the Case Study Selection of Outstanding Students

Abstract

A Decision Support System (DSS) is a computer-based system that provides a selection of alternative options to assist management in making decision with structured or unstructured difficulties by employing the information. One of the DSS approaches used is the Elimination Et Choix Traduisant La Realité (Electre) methodology. The Electre method is a multi-criteria decision-making strategy that examines pairs of options based on each relevant criterion. The Electre approach can be used when alternatives that do not satisfy the requirements are eliminated and acceptable alternatives are generated. The Electre technique was employed in this study to achieve the selection of student data that had previously been processed using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This study is helpful for studying the outcomes of a decision made using the Electre approach based on predefined criteria and alternatives. The results of these computations will be used in a prototype application. In addition, the results of the decision between the SAW technique and the Electre method will be examined for sensitivity in order to assess the sensitivity value of the two techniques.
