Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of allocating a fixed budget between a set of competing investment proposals. Based on previous practical experience with problems of this type, an analysis using the fuzzy outranking approach promised to be potentially effective. A decision aid computer package has been developed and applied to a case study. It proved to be flexible and to give additional insights into the structure of the set of alternatives.
