Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive application of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach to evaluate and rank different models of welding goggles. The study uses both the Mean Weight and Entropy Weight methods in conjunction with five different MCDM techniques—TOPSIS, CODAS, COPRAS, SAW, and MOORA. These methods provide an insightful comparison and robust ranking of various goggle models. The analysis consistently highlighted 'ArcOne The Fly Safety Goggles' and '3M Speedglas 100 Series' as superior performers across multiple criteria.
