Original decision matrix :
 
| Variant | f1 | f2 | f3 | f4 | f5 | 
| 1. | 170,00 | 28,80 | 3,00 | 1,00 | 94,00 | 
| 2. | 165,00 | 30,20 | 4,00 | 1,50 | 105,00 | 
| 3. | 173,00 | 28,30 | 3,00 | 1,00 | 119,00 | 
| 4. | 168,00 | 27,60 | 4,00 | 0,50 | 105,00 | 
Transform to all maximal criteria:
 
| Variant | f1 | f2 | f3 | f4 | f5 | 
| 1. | 3 | 28,80 | 3,00 | 1,00 | 94,00 | 
| 2. | 8 | 30,20 | 4,00 | 1,50 | 105,00 | 
| 3. | 0 | 28,30 | 3,00 | 1,00 | 119,00 | 
| 4. | 5 | 27,60 | 4,00 | 0,50 | 105,00 | 
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.
