The eletre tri method applied to the evaluation of companies transporting hazardous materials

This article proposes a method for the classification and selection of hazardous materials transporters based on Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) concepts. This approach involves characteristics that allow the subjectivity inherent to the process of evaluating the performance of Service Companies to be considered, thus differentiating it from other transport services supplier selection methods. The particularities of the proposed methodology, particularly insofar as its applicability is concerned, were assessed by means of a case study involving a fuel distribution company which owns gas stations throughout the country.
