We have found that A1 and A4 are dominated variants,

Example: Colour Films –Discarding Dominated Variants

so that we can overpass them. As the maximin method requires common scale for all criteria we transform the decision matrix according:


 
Variant f1 f2 f3 f4 f5
2.
1
1
1
1
0,882
3.
0
0,937
0,75
0,667
1

The line minima are:
A2: 0.882
A4: 0
Maximum of these minima is 0.882, so we chose the variant A2.
