Summary

INTRODUCTION

Traditional industrial informatics focus on how to provide more efficient and productive operations. Today organizations need knowledge and information to achieve a competitive advantage when making important decisions. Since the existing data on decision-making methods are usually based on opinions and the experiences of decision-makers and are expressed qualitatively, it is more likely to have errors in opinion interpretation. This has led to the suggestion of using fuzzy theory in solving problems with qualitative observations. A model for evaluating BI in enterprise systems based on a fuzzy PROMETHEE method is presented. The third section covers the description of the steps for the fuzzy PROMETHEE method for evaluating BI in enterprise systems. The conclusion section deals with conclusions, results and suggestions
