THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS USING THE PROMETHEE METHOD : Final paper

Promethee metoda je metoda višekriterijske analize, odnosno analize u kojoj postoji više funkcija cilja nad skupom ograničenja. Promethee metoda je metoda organiziranja ranga preferencije za donošenja najboljih odluka a korisna je kada se izbor vrši uz međusobno isključive kriterije odlučivanja. Svrha ovog završnog rada je analizirati primjenjivost Promethee metode u postupcima donošenja poslovnih odluka. Naime, Promethee metoda se koristi prilikom rješavanja problema s većim brojem mogućih alternativa gdje se pomoću ove metode pronalazi najbolja alternativa kao preporuka za donošenje odluke. Nadalje, u okviru ovog područja uobičajena su pitanja poput: Koja je najbolja alternativa za navedeni problem?, Koji su kriteriji odlučivanja?, Koju metodu višekriterijskog odlučivanja primijeniti i kako ju provesti?, ... Istraživačko pitanje koje je postavljeno u okviru provedenog istraživanja ispituje doprinosi li Promethee metoda odabiru najbolje alternative. Istraživanje je provedeno putem arhivskog istraživanja i to analizom relevantne recentne literature i primjera uspješne prakse te primjenom metode slučaja, u okviru kojeg je prikazan proces izbora najbolje alternative za odabir lokacije za otvaranje novog centra za prodaju građevinskih alata. Pritom je kao metoda za provedbu postupka odabira najbolje alternative korištena Promethee metoda. Završni rad se sastoji od 5 dijelova: uvod, višekriterijalno odlučivanje pomoću Promethee metode, analiza i rezultati istraživanja primjenjivosti Promethee metode, rasprava i zaključak. Istraživačke metode primjene u radu su Promethee metoda, metode deskripcije i metode analize, metoda sinteze te su korišteni programski paketi Excel i Visual Promethee.The Promethee method is a method of multicriteria analysis, ie analysis in which there are several functions of the goal over a set of constraints. It is a method of organizing the rank of preference for making the best decisions and is useful when the choice is made with mutually exclusive decision-making criteria. The purpose of this final paper is to analyze the applicability of the Promethee method in business decision making processes. Namely, the Promethee method is used when solving problems with a number of possible alternatives, where this method is used to find the best alternative as a recommendation for decision making. Furthermore, common questions in this area are: What is the best alternative to this problem ?, What are the decision criteria ?, What method of multicriteria decision making to apply and how to implement it?,... The research question posed in the research examines whether it contributes to Promethee method choosing the best alternative. The research was conducted through archival research by analyzing relevant recent literature and examples of successful practice and applying the case method, which shows the process of choosing the best alternative for choosing a location to open a new retail center of construction tools. The Promethee method was used as a method for implementing the procedure for selecting the best alternative. The final paper consists of five integral parts: introduction, multicriteria decision making using the Promethee method, analysis and research results of the applicability of the Promethee method, discussion and conclusion. Research methods applied in this research are Promethee method, description methods and analysis methods, synthesis method and Excel and Visual Promethee software packages were used
