In this study, we propose Euclidean best-worst method (Euclidean BWM), which does not require any other extra calculations and analysis compared to nonlinear Chebyshev BWM. Using numerical examples, we illustrate and discuss the efficiency of the Euclidean BWM based on minimizing Euclidean norm instead of Chebyshev norm and using the consistency index matrix. Obtained results show that Euclidean BWM is an efficient tool resulting in reliable unique solutions, regardless of the number of the criteria, comparing with the linear and nonlinear model of the Chebyshev BWM. Moreover, we develop a MAPLE package BWM using only pairwise comparison vectors as the arguments to obtain the unique solution of a given problem by both the Euclidean BWM and linear model of Chebyshev BWM.
