Abstract
The QUALIFLEX method was introduced by Paelinck in 1975 (Qualitative and quantitative mathematical economics. Springer, Dordrecht, pp. 217–266, 1982 [35]; Econ Lett 1:193–197, 1978 [36]; The multi-criteria method QUALIFLEX: past experiences and recent developments. Netherlands Economic Institute, 1979 [37]), which is rooted in the permutation method, introduced by Jacquet Lagreze (J Optim Industrial Eng 5:29–34, 2012 [16]; Multiple criteria decision analysis. Springer, Berlin, 2016 [27]). In QUALIFLEX , each possible ranking of existing m alternative is evaluated. In other words, the ranking of alternatives is evaluated to the number of m! permutation, and finally, the most appropriate ones are selected for the final ranking.
