| description | The ability to make decisions is crucial for achieving success in any field, particularly in areas that involve managing extensive information and knowledge. The process of decision-making in real-world scenarios often involves considering numerous factors and aspects. It can be challenging to make decisions in such complex environments. In this paper, we present a new technique that solves multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems by considering opportunity losses-based polar coordinate distance (OPLO-POCOD). MCDM is a subdiscipline of operations research in which some alternatives are evaluated concerning some criteria to choose the most optimal alternative(s). Opportunity loss is a fundamental concept in economics and management, which can be used as a basis for determining the value associated with information. The authors emphasize that the technique incorporates the concept of opportunity losses and uses distance vectors in polar coordinates, making it a compelling approach. By considering opportunity losses, decision-makers gain a better understanding of the trade-offs involved in selecting alternatives, enabling them to make more informed decisions. Finally, the proposed method is exhibited through the use of numerical an example to illustrate its process. Additionally, a comparative sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the outcomes of OPLO-POCOD and compare them with existing MCDM methods. The OPLO-POCOD method is found to have high reliability compared to other methods, as indicated by Spearman’s correlation coefficient, which is greater than 0.9. The method shows a correlation of over 98.5% with TOPSIS, COPRAS, ARAS, and MCRAT methods, demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness. These analyses show the efficiency of the proposed method and highlight the stability of the results. |
