Multi-Objective Optimisation by Ratio Analysis plus Full Multiplicative Form
MULTIMOORA (Multi-Objective Optimisation by Ratio Analysis plus Full Multiplicative Form) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Brauers, W. K. M., Zavadskas, E. K. in 2010. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

When to use it
MULTIMOORA produces three sub-rankings (RS: higher y better; RP: lower d better; FMF: higher U better) and aggregates them via dominance theory — the alternative dominating in ≥2 sub-rankings wins its position. When all three sub-rankings agree, the result is robust. When they disagree, inspect each sub-ranking individually to understand the trade-off.
Strengths & limitations
- 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.
- Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
