A comprehensive handbook on multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods, designed to cater to students, researchers, and practitioners alike. This handbook provides a detailed and insightful exploration of MADM techniques, offering step-by-step guidelines for their practical application.

The authors commence by providing an overview of decision-making and its fundamental concepts, laying the foundation for the subsequent chapters. They then delve into the realm of MADM, presenting a comprehensive list of 20 leading MADM methods. Additionally, an appendix on weight assignment methods is included to further enhance the reader's understanding of this complex subject.

To facilitate optimal learning, the chapters in this handbook are meticulously organized. Each chapter focuses on a specific MADM method or, in some cases, a family of methods, ensuring a clear and concise presentation. A thorough literature review is provided for each method, supported by numerous examples showcasing its implementation across various fields. The theoretical foundations of each method are explained in detail, while also mapping them to their corresponding mathematical frameworks.

Furthermore, the handbook demonstrates how to implement each MADM method to real-world problems in a diverse range of disciplines. By presenting practical examples and case studies, readers can gain a practical understanding of the application of these methods in real-world scenarios.

In MADM methods, stakeholders' objectives are often expressed through a set of conflicting criteria, making this family of decision-making approaches highly relevant to a wide array of situations. By utilizing the comprehensive insights provided in this handbook, students, researchers, and practitioners can enhance their decision-making abilities and make informed choices that contribute to their success.
