The SPOTIS Rank Reversal Free Method for Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Support

In this paper, we propose a new Multi-Criteria Decision-Making method (MCDM) which is rank reversal free. We call it the SPOTIS method standing for Stable Preference Ordering Towards Ideal Solution method. Our method is exempt of rank reversal because the preference ordering established from the score matrix of the MCDM problem under consideration does not require the relative comparisons between alternatives, but only comparisons with respect to the ideal solution chosen by the MCDM system designer after transforming the incomplete original MCDM problem into a well-defined one thanks to the specification of the min and max bounds of each criterion involved in the problem.
