Improving consistency in AHP decision-making processes

Group Decision Support System Based on Enhanced AHP for Tender Evaluation

Application of model base in group decision making that makes up a Group Decision Support System (GDSS) is of paramount importance. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) that has been applied in GDSS. In order to be effectively used in GDSS, AHP needs to be customized so that it is more user friendly with ease of used features. In this paper, we propose a...

Decision-Making Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and JMP Scripting Language

JMP® scripting language (JSL) can be used to implement the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP helps decisionmakers choose the best solution from several options and selection criteria. Thomas Saaty developed AHP as a decision-making method in the 1970s. AHP has broad applications in operations research, quality engineering, and design-for-six-sigma (DFSS) situations. AHP builds a hierarchy (...

Tel.: +886 7 6577711x65 E-mail addresses: [email protected], dr.deor@g The lack of consistency in decision making can lead to inconsistent conclusions. In fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) method, it is difficult to ensure a consistent pairwise comparison. Furthermore, establishing a ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), introduced by Thomas Saaty (1980), is an effective tool for dealing with complex decision making, and may aid the decision maker to set priorities and make the best decision. By reducing complex decisions to a series of pairwise comparisons, and then synthesizing the results, the AHP helps to capture both subjective and objective aspects of a decision. In a...
