The capital cities of the states of the Mexican Republic present a considerable heterogeneity in terms of their level of public security, so their correct characterization is an essential requirement, but not sufficient, for the elaboration of public policies for the prevention of crimes in the common jurisdiction. In this paper, we propose a multi...
The design of new products is a matter of great importance that can directly affect profitability and competitiveness in modern companies. For this reason, the selection of a final product design needs to consider at least four factors of importance: anticipated market demand for the product design, preference heterogeneity among consumers, decisio...
Personnel selection represents a valuable decision-making process that determines, in some way, the competitiveness and performance of an organization. The essential elements of the personnel selection task are the position requirements and the accessible information related to candidates. In this paper, the personnel selection task is modeled as a...
Given a finite set of alternatives, the ranking problem statement builds a preference pre-order (partial or complete) on this set. In this paper, we are interested in multiple criteria ranking problems with a hierarchical structure of criteria; more precisely, we are interested in the existing hierarchical Electre III method. This method requires e...
