  • Abstract
    Nowadays, several companies have to apply an appropriate decision-making-method, in order to survive in a high competitive circumstance. The appropriate method is one of the crucial management methods for sustaining a business organization. Since, recently, customers do not only concern about the quality issue, but also environmental concerning has been considerably increased and continually developed. Therefore, this research´s main purpose is to develop a new quantification method integrating both qualitative and environmental issues together for a better result. As quality and environmental aspects are dissimilar in term of ranges and units, these differences are eliminated by using a normalization approach. This proposed decision method employed six corrugated roofs. The outcomes present; five developing roofs are environmentally friendlier than the existing corrugated roofs. Still, this ecological benefit is compensated with the qualitative capability.
