Seleção de uma aeronave para atividades de charter regional com utilização do método multicritério de borda modificado com utilização de mediana

This article tries to solve a problem of selecting an airship for an airline company whose core business is regional charter flights. The company belongs to an economic group whose main activity is logistics. The decision problem that the company faces has eight alternatives to be accessed according to eleven criteria. For approaching the problem a novel multicriteria decision aiding method is used. This new method is one variant of the classical Borda method denoted by Modified or Median-based Borda Method. Using this new method is justified by the fact that it is less influenced by the irrelevant alternatives as well as by its easy of understanding and its low computational complexity. The thus Modified Borda Method provided for consistent results and thus led to a reliable decision support.
