The analytical approach calculates weights in multiple attribute decision-making without linear programming, highlighting ease of use.
The study proposes an analytical (closed-form) solution to the Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA) in multiple attribute decision-making. The proposed Analytical Ordinal Priority Approach (AOPA) can calculate the weights of alternatives, criteria and experts, without linear programming. The application of the AOPA is demonstrated through an example run on Microsoft Excel. The results are consistent with those of the classical OPA. The findings are important for those who seek convenience and may wish to execute the OPA on commonly used spreadsheets without the need for the programming languages.
