Abstract
The fundamental principle of QUALIFLEX is to treat the cardinal and ordinal information in a correct way and to take all the possible rankings of alternatives into account. The focus of QUALIFLEX is the pairwise comparison of alternatives with respect to each attribute under all possible permutations. The optimal permutation is recognized through the comprehensive concordance/discordance index, and the best alternative will be identified according to it.
