Abstract

Increments in economic efficiency resulting from the application of standards generate economic benefits for both producers and consumers. As a result, it is of the utmost importance for organizations to be aware of the benefits that standards bring to their operations. This paper deals with specific categories of standardization effects that organizations can achieve in the processes of formal standardization. The goal was to rank organizations by size, based on the effects that they can gain by getting involved in formal standardization. The data gathered from a survey of experts from the Institute for Standardization of Serbia form the basis of our multicriteria analysis of standardization indicators for micro, small, medium-sized, and large organizations. The final ranking for determining the achievement of standardization effects in different-sized organizations was performed using the PROMETHEE-GAIA method. Our analysis showed that micro organizations were the best performers since they are more flexible than the other size categories of organizations. In contrast, the other types of organizations have lower significant preferences concerning all the criteria. Finally, one of the conclusions is that all observed organizations have the potential to achieve the effects of standardization, although they may differ.

摘要

应用标准带来的经济效率的提高为生产者和消费者都带来了经济利益。因此，对于组织而言，了解标准为其运营带来的好处至关重要。本文讨论了组织在正式标准化过程中可以实现的特定类别的标准化效果。目标是根据组织参与正式标准化所获得的影响，按规模对组织进行排名。从塞尔维亚标准化研究所的专家调查中收集的数据构成了我们对微型、小型、中型和大型组织的标准化指标进行多标准分析的基础。使用 PROMETHEE-GAIA 方法进行确定不同规模组织中标准化效果实现的最终排名。我们的分析表明，微型组织表现最好，因为它们比其他规模的组织更灵活。相比之下，其他类型的组织对所有标准的偏好较低。最后，一个结论是，所有观察到的组织都有可能实现标准化的效果，尽管它们可能不同。其他类型的组织对所有标准的偏好较低。最后，一个结论是，所有观察到的组织都有可能实现标准化的效果，尽管它们可能不同。其他类型的组织对所有标准的偏好较低。最后，一个结论是，所有观察到的组织都有可能实现标准化的效果，尽管它们可能不同。
