The
process is structured.
As the tool walks you through, you provide answers to the questions you see below.
The questions are grouped in three sections to describe the decision-making problem
as follows:
1. Classifiers : They shape the operational capabilities
of the required method
2. Intrinsic criteria: They shape the intrinsic nature
of the required method
3. Implementation criteria:
They are used to define the requirements for implementation of the method

Here is our intuitive and interactive set of questions. Answering them will lead you to a subset of methods relevant to your problem. Under each question you can find its description, while the description of an answer appears when you move the mouse on it.
Enjoy your journey with the WEMSS!
Your recommended method(s) will automatically appear at the bottom.
The numbers in brackets next to each answer indicate the number of methods that will be recommended if you choose such answer. Please note that this a dynamic process, so the number changes according to the combination of answers that you will give.
If there is terminology you do not understand, you might find the explanation in the FAQs section at the bottom of the software
Section 1: They shape the operational capabilities of the required method
Section 2: They shape the intrinsic nature of the required method
Section 3: They are used to define the requirements for implementation of the method
Once you answer a part or all questions from the three Sections, the method(s) recommended for
your decision-making problem will automatically appear in the list below.
If you click on the ⓘ you will see a description of each method with
the answers that you chose in bold.
When present, the column “Missed features” shows the decision-making features that
you selected and which are not supported by the recommended methods.
