An Application of the Multiple Criteria Decision Tree in Project Planning

Planning means making a sequence of decisions. The choices made at the initial phase of the planning process determine the set of alternatives at succeeding steps. As various criteria and uncertainty must be considered, the multiple criteria decision tree seems to be a valuable method for analyzing project planning problems. In the paper a new technique combining multiple criteria decision tree and interactive approach is proposed. Our method takes into account quantitative and qualitative criteria. An example is presented to show the applicability of the procedure. It is based on the experiences of a company working for the railway sector.
