Multi Criteria Analysis Example

AQUATIC CENTER SITE EVALUATION
Step #1: Rank each

criteria category from
1 to n, giving a 1 to
the criterion that is
most important to
you, and n to the
least important.
Interests and Sub-Interests

Rank
Step #2: Assign each
interst category a group

weight by allocating 100
points among the n
categories. The more
important the interest, the
higher its weight. It's like
grading a test, the sum of
the scores for all test
questions should add up to
100.

Step #3: Now give each subinterest its
own weight. Weights can take on any

value between zero and the maximum of
the weight given to that group. For
example, if you assigned a group weight
of 15 to an interest, the subinterest in that
group can range from 0 to 15. You can
assign all subcriteria in that group a 15, or
some a 15, some a 10, one an 8, one a
zero, and so on.
Step #4: Calculate the sub-interest
score for each option by multiplying the

sub-interest rating by its weight. Sum
the sub-interest scores within each
interest category to derive the interest
scores. Sum the interest scores to get the
total score.
Ratings answer the question, "How

well does each alternative satisfy the
interest?" Use a 'best to worst' ranking
or a numeric scale (5=excellent;
4=very good; 3=fair; 2=below average;
1=poor).

Weights can take on any value

For example, if you assigned a
group weight of 15 to a criterion,
the subcriteria in that group can
