PAMSSEM-I (PAMSSEM I — Procédure d'Agrégation Multicritère) is a outranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Martel, J. M., Aouni, B. in 1996. 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

Results depend on the chosen normalisation, weights, and parameter settings.
