solution

You just completed your PhD in Industrial Engineering, have job offers from six different universities, and are faced with the problem of choosing the right university to work for. You have collected the necessary data about each university, as given in Table 4.9.

Acting as the new PhD, use the following methods to determine the criteria weights and the ranking of the universities. [Notes: (i) You will be maximizing criteria 1, 3, 4, and 5 and minimizing criteria 2 and 6. (ii) Scale the salaries by dividing by $10,000.]

a. Rating method

b. Borda method, using pairwise comparison of criteria

Do you find any rank reversals?
