Abstract

In the context of decision-making, the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method stands out for its systematic approach to complex systems. By incorporating fuzzy logic, the DEMATEL fuzzy method takes traditional techniques a step further, effectively managing the uncertainties and imprecision inherent in expert assessments. This hybrid method has proved useful in a variety of fields, including business, engineering, healthcare, environmental management, and education. Its ability to refine subjective judgments into actionable information enables decision-makers to improve organizational performance, optimize resource allocation, and achieve more accurate results. The development of software tools for these methods makes them more accessible and practical, enabling more effective analysis and application. In this paper, we propose a flexible implementation that integrates seamlessly into Python-based applications, offering full access to all parameters, matrices, and intermediary calculations of the method. Additionally, the tool also provides a user-friendly graphical interface.
