EXPROM II — Total ranking variant
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.
