We present a new methodology for decision-making support based on belief functions thanks to a new theoretical canonical decomposition of dichotomous basic belief assignments (BBAs) that has been developed recently. This decomposition based on proportional conflict redistribution rule no 5 (PCR5) always exists and is unique. This new PCR5-based decomposition method circumvents the exponential complexity of the direct fusion of BBAs with PCR5 rule and it allows to fuse quickly many sources of evidences. The method we propose in this paper provides both a decision and an estimation of the quality of the decision made, which is appealing for decision-making support systems.
