The comparison between MAUT and PROMETHEE

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) analysis has been utilized to solve many real world problems. Most research used a particular MCDM method to solve the problem in interested. Recently, some research is interested in comparing the results obtained by different MCDM methods. It is interesting to know that, given the same decision information, there exists distinguish results obtained by different methods. Moreover, seldom research provides the study about the relation or perspective between those methods. In this study, a preliminary discussion between two of the commonly used MCDM methods, multiattribute utility theory (MAUT) and PROMETHEE, is provided.
