To solve this problem, we propose the centroid weight method for weighting the selection criteria, and the PROMETHEE model as a multicriteria decision making method. A case study is carried out in the limestone quarry of the cement factory of Hadjar-Soud, Algeria. %A Bouhedja, Ahcène %A Idres, Abdelaziz %A Boutrid, Abdelaziz %A Bounouala, Mohamed %A Benselhoub, Aissa %A Talhi, Korichi %P 121-135 %R 10.5277/msc162310 %U https://doi.org/10.5277/msc162310
