Material selection has great importance in design and development of the products. The success and competitiveness of the producers also depends on the selected material. This paper reports of the application of different preference ranking-based MCDM method for the base of an induction cookware for the National Efficient Cooking Program of Ecuador which tries to replace liquefied petroleum gas cookers for induction cookers. Selection of an appropriate material is necessary for improve the efficiency in the system cookware-induction cooker. This efficiency is measured with the energy efficiency, cost saving, high heating rate, and workability. The MCMD method implemented is operational competitiveness rating analysis (OCRA). The criteria weighting was performed by compromised weighting method composed of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Entropy methods. Using these methods, a list of all the possible choices from the best to the worst suitable materials is obtained taking into account different material selection criteria. According to the results, Ni would be the best material for the base of an induction pot.
