: With the fast development of the E-commerce, it becomes critical to set up an E-commerce Evaluation criteria system. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is a new multi-criteria evaluation method evolved from Saaty’s AHP. This paper aimed to find out the key factors that affect success in E-commerce using fuzzy AHP, and give an evaluation method for E-commerce in order to help researches and mana...

Sand and gravel are important raw materials which are needed for many civil engineering projects. Due to economic reasons, sand and gravel pits are frequently located in the periphery of metropolitan areas which are often subject to competing land-use interests. As a contribution to land-use conflict solving, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied within a Geo-Information-System (GIS) ...

This work presents a selection model that adopts several important criteria, enabling the manager to select the supply chain management (SCM) of NB are the most appropriate. Major criteria weights are analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and sensitivity analysis. Analysis results indicate that the proposed selection model enables the manager to select the supply chain management...

This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Preference Ranking Organisation MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods. Building upon this analysis, recommendations are formulated to integrate into PROMETHEE a number of useful AHP features, especially as regards the design of the decision-making hierarchy (ordering of goals, sub-goals...

In this paper, we present an extension of the multi-criteria decision making based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which incorporates uncertain knowledge matrices for generating basic belief assignments (bba’s). The combination of priority vectors corresponding to bba’s related to each (sub)-criterion is performed using the Proportional Conflict Redistribution rule no. 5 proposed in Dez...

Based on features of distance education and its disadvantages in terms of learning evaluation, this study uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy mathematics theory to study distance education. First, an electric file is generated for each learner. Then a practical multi-hierarchy evaluation model is built based on AHP. Finally, evaluation of on-line education is done based on informati...

A lot of research has been devoted to the critical analysis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), from various perspectives. However, as far as we know, no one has addressed a fundamental problem, discussed in this paper, concerning the meaning of the priority vector derived from the principal eigenvalue method used in AHP. The role of AHP’s consistency ratio is also analysed. 2006 Elsevier ...

To solve the uncertainty and complexity problems in hazardous chemical storage risk assessment, this paper constructs the evaluation index system and proposed the risk assessment model based on AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach, which organically integrate the quantitative and the objectively of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the inclusive advantage of fuzzy comprehensive ev...

The paper of Finan and Hurley – published in Computers and Operations Research (2002) – was re-examined, where they discussed a seemingly contradictory phenomenon resulting from the ignoring of wash criteria in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). With that, they raised a serious challenge to the AHP methodology. However, by reviewing their arguments and example data, analyses regarding to the...
