MCDMDecision-makingRankingMath steps
Weighted Euclidean Distance Based Approach
WEDBA (Weighted Euclidean Distance Based Approach) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Dadelo, S., Turskis, Z., Zavadskas, E. K., Dadeliene, R. in 2014. 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.

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
- Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
