Model for decision-making, change of LPG stove to induction stove, case in Ecuador

Abstract:

The Ecuadorian Government has been proposed to introduce in a massive scale in the national market, the use of Induction Stoves as a replacement of the LPG Stove (liquefied Petroleum Gas). Nevertheless, when choosing the induction stove, by the citizens, in addition to economic factors other factors could be taken into consideration, but they could fall into subjectivism. In other words, multiple criteria should be also considered. This article contributes with a method of support that suggests the user a possible best option, taking into account qualitative and quantitative criteria as well. Possible scenarios are also analyzed and also their impact in the final decision.
