EXPROM-II (EXPROM II — Total ranking variant) is a outranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Diakoulaki, D., Koumoutsos, N. in 1991. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

Key highlights

  • Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
  • Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.

When to use it

Apply the F.steps in order; the final score determines the descending ranking.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths
  • Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
  • Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
Limitations
  • May exhibit rank reversal when alternatives are added to or removed from the set.
