Various Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods have been developed to support decision making process. The main aim of all MCDM methods is to obtain ranking of the alternatives and select the best one under conflicting criteria. In this paper, a combined MCDM approach is proposed based on MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation TecHnique) and MULTI-MOORA (Multi Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis) methods. In this combined approach, the weights of the criteria are determined with MACBETH method and then MULTI-MOORA method is used to obtain the final ranking of the alternatives. At the end of the paper, to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach an application of the automobile selection of a marble company is also given.
