Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) is oldest popular approach which is usedto select one from the available options. Initially, a decision maker (DM) selects number of attributes according to the availability and suitability of the problem defined. In this process, selection of number of attributes will play crucial role while making a decision. Simple additive weighting approach (SAW) is one of the popular and simple among all the methods available in Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM). Effect on selection of attributes while making a decision has been tested here in this research paper by considering different cases for making the same decision in a case study. During this case study, cases are considered with different number of attributes i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is also attempted to conclude with the best option from all cases considered with two different approaches.
