ABSTRACT

At times, organizations' continuity often largely hinges upon their ability to operate the business even if and when fire danger arises. The study, calls for the development of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods to evaluate and ameliorate fire risk management measures. It is a novel strategy, which is presented in this empirical work. By combining MCDM tools, such as the decision-making method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), entropy, and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), this study brings holistic and data-driven solution to company's fire safety management to allow them to prioritize and figure out the best fire risk management strategy. This abstract focuses especially on the enterprise level of the evaluation methodology of a fire risk management model with primary attention to the integration of MCDM, as a powerful tool for the solution of complex decision-making issues. Organizations should organize their priorities according to multiple objectives, for example, cost-efficiency, compliance, and effect on operations that create conditions for making the right decisions concerning the mitigation of fire risks while preserving business continuity. The findings of the research give a boost to the work of proactive and adaptable fire risk management strategies development, which are organized according to the requirements and peculiarities of enterprises.
