Quantitative expression and aggregation of performance measurements based on the MACBETH multi-criteria method

This study deals with the use of the MACBETH methodology as a global framework for multi-criteria industrial performance expressions. This methodology satisfies the measurement theory requirements, and thus ensures the coherence of the elementary and aggregated performance expressions. The MACBETH procedure allows to express commensurate elementary performances and the weights of the weighted mean from decision-maker knowledge, and then to aggregate the elementary performances. Then, in order to take the criteria interactions into account, we extend MACBETH to the Choquet integral operators. Finally, an industrial case study is presented to illustrate the implementation of the methodology in the field. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
