This study aims to examine the strengths and weaknesses of AHP, SWARA, BWM, PIPRECIA and FUCOM, which are subjective criteria weighting methods, to reveal their advantages, and to develop an improved subjective criterion weighting procedure in this context. As a new method proposal, it is aimed to show the reliability of the method by giving application examples and comparison analyzes within the framework of ICWM (Improved Criteria Weighting Method). According to the analysis results, it was observed that the correlations between the criterion weights found with ICWM and the criterion weights found with AHP, SWARA, BWM, and FUCOM, which are considered reliable in the literature, were very strong. It has also been determined that ICWM provides advantages in terms of number of pairwise comparisons, consistency, and practicality.
