Prioridade observada a partir da presunção de atitude gaussiana das alternativas: uma contribuição para o processo decisório em problemas de defesa

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to propose an axiomatic for a new method, called PrOPPAGA, which was developed in order to be friendly to lay decision-makers in Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), without losing the reliability of the results, when compared to other methods. In addition to presenting the computational tool developed for the application of the method, which makes this task of becoming friendly more plausible. The development of new MCDA methods is a reality in the academic environment. However, not all methods developed reaches some level of relevance. Among those who succeed, it is possible to trace some points in common and with that, analyze gaps to be filled. PrOPPAGA fills the gap in the Rank Reversal Problem, using a Gaussian normalization process. Several applications of PrOPPAGA are mentioned, which were published with the aim of disseminating it to the academic society, and giving robustness to the method. In addition, a new application is presented, where the implementation of the PrOPPAGA method is suggested to the evaluation process of the Brazilian Navy’s enlisted personnel, as an opportunity to improve the process. This implementation allows the institution to distinguish, more accurately, militaries that stand out positively, what makes possible the implementation of motivational programs directed at these soldiers. In this way, it is understood that this work contributes to society by presenting an MCDA method that stands out for its simplicity of understanding and ease of application by lay decision-makers.
