Abstract

The Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation TecHnique (MACBETH) method, introduced by Bana e Costa and Vansnick in 1990 [123–125], examines the alternatives with multi-attributes and opposite objectives. In fact, this interactive method is appropriate for examining and ranking of alternatives with respect to a wide range of qualitative and quantitative attributes. Therefore, the MACBETH method is applied in many cases such as performance analysis of online bookstores [126], selection of manufacturing systems [127], and evaluation of supplier [128, 129].
