Advances in Best-Worst Method

TRAMA

This proceedings book contains selected papers from the Fourth International Workshop on Best-Worst Method (BWM2023), held in Delft, the Netherlands, from 8 to 9 June 2023. It presents recent advancements in theory and applications of the Best-Worst Method (BWM). It provides valuable insights on why and how to use BWM in a diverse set of applications including health, energy, supply chain management, and engineering. The book highlights the use of BWM in different settings including single decision-making vs group decision-making, full information vs incomplete and uncertain situations. Academics and practitioners who are involved in multi-criteria decision-making and decision analysis benefit from the papers published in this book.
