This method is similar to maximin method.

Example Colour Films MAXIMIN

We use the normalised decision matrix with all maximal criteria:
 

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

The line maxima are:
A2: 1
A4: 1
The line maxima are equal, so according to maximax method we are not able to distinguish which of A2 and A4 variants are better.
