It includes selected papers from the Third International Workshop on Best-Worst Method (BWM2022), held in Delft, the Netherlands, from 9 to 10 June 2022. The book provides valuable insights on why and how to use BWM in a diverse range of applications including health, energy, supply chain management, and engineering. Moreover, it highlights the use of BWM in different settings including individual decision-making vs group decision-making, and with complete information vs incomplete and uncertain information. Academics and practitioners whose work involves multi-criteria decision-making and decision analysis will particularly benefit from the papers gathered here. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Operations Research,$x2731-0418 606 $aOperations research 606 $aManagement science 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aOperations Research, Management Science 606 $aOptimization 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aOperations Research, Management Science . 615 24$aOptimization. 676 $a658.403 676 $a658.403 702 $aBrunelli$b Matteo 702 $aMohammadi$b Majid$f1960- 702 $aRezaei$b Jafar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647777703321 996 $aAdvances in Best-Worst Method$93258119 997 $aUNINA
