In this paper, we focus on multi-criteria decision-making problems. We propose a model based influence diagrams; is able to handle uncertainty, represent interdependencies among the different decision variables and facilitate communication between decision-maker analyst. The particular structure of proposed makes it possible take into account alternatives described by an attribute set, decision-maker's characteristics preferences, other information (e.g., internal or external factors) that decision. Modeling problem in terms diagrams requires lot work gather expert knowledge. However, once built, can be easily efficiently used for instances problem. fact, using our simply entering some basic information, such as values factors characteristics. Our also defines importance each criterion what known about maker, quality index utility alternative.
