DYNAMIC WEIGHT ALLOCATION IN MODIFIED MULTI-ATRIBUTIVE IDEAL-REAL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH SYMMETRY POINT FOR REAL-TIME DECISION SUPPORT

Decision Support Systems (DSS) have a crucial role in real-time decision-making, especially in the digital era that demands high speed and accuracy. Managing criterion weights in a dynamic environment presents significant challenges due to rapid and unpredictable changes in conditions. However, determining an accurate weight becomes difficult due to uncertainty, incomplete data, and subjective factors from decision-makers. In addition, changes in the external environment, such as market trends, regulations, or customer preferences, can affect the relevance of each criterion, thus requiring a real-time weight adjustment mechanism. The purpose of this study is to develop and explore the dynamic weight allocation method in symmetry point- multi-attributive ideal-real comparative analysis (S-MAIRCA) to support more accurate and responsive real-time decision-making in a dynamic environment. This research contributes to the understanding of how the weights of criteria can be adjusted automatically and responsively to changing conditions or new data, which increases the relevance and accuracy of decisions in a dynamic environment. The urgency of S-MAIRCA research is important because it often involves real-time, dynamic, and complex data. This development not only improves the adaptability of the S-MAIRCA method, but also contributes significantly to creating computer science-based applications that are more intelligent, flexible, and relevant to the evolving needs of the system. The results of the alternative ranking comparison using the CRITIC-MAIRCA, LOPCOW-MAIRCA, ROC-MAIRCA, and S-MAIRCA methods showed variations in the ranking order generated for each alternative using spearman correlation. The results of the correlation value of CRITIC-MAIRCA and LOPCOW-MAIRCA have a very high correlation of 0.993, which shows that these two methods provide almost identical rankings in alternative evaluation. Likewise, CRITIC-MAIRCA and S-MAIRCA had a high correlation of 0.979, signaling a strong similarity in ranking results despite slight differences in the approaches used by the two methods. The results of the application of the MAIRCA-S method in the development of DSS based on real-time data have a significant impact on improving the speed, accuracy, and adaptability of decisions. MAIRCA-S strengthens the validity of decision results by considering a variety of attributes on a more comprehensive scale, providing added value in the development of DSS for various industrial sectors.
