Utilization of Multi Period Multiple Attribute Decision Making Models by Using Regression Equations

Multiple attribute decision making models which select the best alternative out of all possible alternatives are used in different environments such as community, economy, management, army, etc. In recent years most of the performed researches in multiple attribute decision making’s field have been focused on single period evaluations; while the value of attributes may not be fixing during all periods. Hence this research presents how to use a MADM model, for example TOPSIS model, in case of multi period. In this research, for describing the relations between periods, regression equations are used. The proposed model is also implemented in textile industry as a case study.
