However, not much interest has been put on defining appropriate metrics to evaluate in further detail the consensus solution, regarding experts preferred ordering or ranking of alternatives. This contribution presents a metric based on Kemeny distance, that evaluates the consensus solution in terms of degree of satisfaction. Furthermore, based on this metric we aim at determining the extent to which applying a consensus reaching process improves the satisfaction with the solution.}, year = {2015}, journal = {16th World Congress of the International Fuzzy Systems Association}, pages = {1090-1097}, month = {June 30th-July 3rd}, address = {Gijón (Spain)}, issn = {1951-6851}, isbn = {978-94-62520-77-6}, doi = {doi:10.2991/ifsa-eusflat-15.2015.154}, }
