Abstract

The Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method was introduced by Keeney and Raiffa in 1976 [27, 142–144]. The simplicity in solving multiple attribute decision-making problems is one of the advantages of this technique, and it gives abundant freedom of action to the decision makers to make the result more accurate and realistic. This method is applicable in areas such as assessment of industry firms [145] and selecting a project portfolio [146].
