We present several aggregation techniques that are very useful for decision-making such as the Hamming distance, the adequacy coefficient and the index of maximum and minimum level. We suggest a new approach by using immediate weights, that is, by using the weighted average and the OWA operator in the same formulation. We further generalize them by using generalized and quasi-arithmetic means. We also analyse the applicability of the OWA operator in business and economics and we see that we can use it instead of the weighted average. We end the paper with an application in a business multi-person decision-making problem regarding production management Presa de decisions (Estadística) Teoria d'operadors Direcció d'empreses Lògica matemàtica Statistical decision Operator theory Industrial management Mathematical logic Decision making techniques with similarity measures and OWA operators
