PAMSSEM II — Total ranking variant
PAMSSEM-II (PAMSSEM II — Total ranking variant) 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.
