In the article a combinatorial optimization model for group decision-making problem is proposed. The described model relies on extended simple additive weighting model. A distinctive feature of the proposed model is consideration of the importance of experts’ opinions by introducing weighted coefficient for each of experts. This allows flexible adjustment of differences in knowledge and experience of the group members responsible to determine most preferable alternative to be achieved. The numerical application is illustrated by an example for software engineering adopted from D. Krapohl. The obtained results show the practical applicability of the proposed combinatorial optimization model for group decision-making.
