Prioritizing projects as a multi-criteria evaluation problem

CAE is the world-leading supplier of flight simulators and training services. Intensive competition for scarce resource exists in the multi-project environment at CAE. Without standard evaluation and objective prioritization of projects, it is difficult to allocate resources in an efficient and optimal way. From the proposed research project, CAE can expect to receive a method based on decision-making criteria that can prioritize resource allocation among multiple projects and project tasks automatically by using methods developed with multi-attribute value theory and data envelopment analysis. During the Mitacs project, the intern will acquire knowledge about decision-making, develop advance skills using Excel, improve research capability as well as gain industrial experience.
