Abstract: Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is a powerful operational model which are used to resolve decision making problems on the basis of different decision criteria. This approach has been widely used in many application fields by the decision makers to solve their problems. Although there exists different MCDM methods but the basic principle of MCDM method involves selection of criteria, selection of alternatives, selection of aggregation methods and weight criteria using these methods and finally evaluation of a set of alternatives performed based on criteria weights. This study presents a small description on the working principle and different methods of a Multi-criteria decision making and furthermore provides survey on their application in different fields.
