Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Simple Ratio Analysis

MOOSRA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Simple Ratio Analysis) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Sarkar, A. Panja, S. C. Das, D. Sarkar, B. in 2015. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

When to use it

MOOSRA requires at least one benefit and one cost criterion. If all criteria are benefits/costs, use MOORA instead.

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.
