Modeling of internal control of occupational safety in corporate systems by using multiple criteria decision making methods

It is possible to use methods of information science to research and resolve many problems in the occupational safety system. Starting from the known theoretical facts and principles, the paper discusses the problems of internal supervision of occupational safety in major corporate systems by using the multiple criteria decision making (MDCM). As the research sample, it was taken a major corporate system HP - Croatian Post. Firstly, the elements (procedures) of internal supervision that are used by occupational safety professionals in everyday practice, are determined and they constitute the criteria of the methodology of MDCM. By taking in consideration that the most biased part of the methodology of MDCM is assigning weights to the criteria, in this paper that step has been accomplished by using AHP methods through the Expert Choice 11® tool. The team of seven occupatonal safety professionals, individually compares criteria each "with each other" in sens of how much is one of the criteria more or less significant compared to the other. In that way each criterion receives seven different weights, which are further brought down to a geometric middle, which then represents the actual weight assigned to each criterion. Furthermore, the paper defines several approaches to internal control, which represent alternatives of the methodology of MDCM. Defining the initial decision matrix and applying appropriate Electre I method (Elimination and Choice Expressing the Reality), the paper ultimately defines those alternatives that are the most important, and in the end they make the basis of a proposed model of internal control in big corporate systems.
