Abstract

The Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART)Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method was introduced by Winterfeldt and Edwards in 1986 (Edwards and Barron in Org Behav Hum Decis Processes 60:306–325, 1994 [1]; Lootsma in Eur J Oper Res 64:467–476, 1996 [2]), in which a limited number of alternatives are examined based on a limited number of attributes. The present method aimed to rank the alternatives by a combination of quantitative and qualitative attributes. This is a convenient technique because of its ease of use, which is used in many cases such as evaluation of nuclear waste disposal sites (Otway and Edwards in Application of a simple multi-attribute rating technique to evaluation of nuclear waste disposal sites: a demonstration. IIASA Research Memorandum, Laxenburg, Austria, 1977 [3]) and ERP system selection (Haddara in Procedia Technol 16:394–403, 2014 [4]).
