Abstract

The decision making is both an art and a science. It involves the process of critical and logical thinking by the Decision maker (DM) so as to come to a finite decision on a specific scenario. The main objective of this research work is to develop a novel two way decision model that integrates the two dominant decision making methods namely Analytical Hierarchical Processing (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), for solving team selection problem (TSP). The AHP is used for choosing optimal weights and the TOPSIS is used for choosing optimal compromise solution. We combine the creditability of the two methods to propose a hybrid decision making model (DMM). We make an empirical investigation to validate the efficacy of the proposed model by collecting data for TSP. An illustrative example is depicted for better understanding the scenario.
