Abstract

The selection of personnel for diving operations is a challenging task requiring a detailed assessment of the candidates. In this study, we use computer aided multi-criteria decision support tools in order to evaluate the divers according to their work experience and physical fitness condition.

The importance weights of the sub-criteria are determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on expert opinions. Two rankings of six divers for seven job specialization are obtained by their scores of work experience and physical fitness. The diver’s scores according to these two main criteria are used in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to reach an aggregate ranking of the divers.

This methodology enabled us to determine a ranking of the candidates for seven underwater project types, considering all factors in an objective and systematic way, reducing the conflicts and confusions that might result from the subjective decisions.
