Research on multiple attribute group decision-making approach for construction programme choice

The construction programme choice is the basis for programme management. A scientific and practical choice and decision-making model of construction programme renders as an important guarantee for the success of choice and management of construction programme. This paper advances a new multi-attribute group decision-making model aiming at the decision-making problem of construction programme choice. First, the entropy theory for data mining to determine the attribute weights is introduced in this paper based on the decision matrix information of decision-makers; then, the minimizing deviation principle to determine the group decision-makers´ weights is proposed based on the analysis of the group decision-makers´ attribute weights information; finally, a decision is made after the identification of the group synthetic attribute values of subprojects in combination of the decision-making matrices of decision-makers, the attribute weights and the group decision-makers´ weights. Eventually, the feasibility and practicability of the model is verified by the example.
