that selected projects contribute to long-term stra-
tegic objectives and responsible mining practices.
6. Optimization of Resource Allocation: MCDA
assists in identifying projects that offer the highest
value relative to resource investment. This optimi-
zation is crucial for maximizing return on invest-
ment and improving overall operational efficiency.
7. Continuous Improvement Tool: The flex-
ibility of MCDA allows companies to adapt the
decision-making framework over time, accom-
modating changing market conditions, techno-
logical advancements, and evolving stakeholder
expectations.
