This study proposes twooptimizationmathematicalmodels for the clustering and selection of suppliers. Model 1 performs an analysis of supplier clusters, according to customer demand attributes, including production cost, product quality and production time. Model 2 uses the supplier cluster obtained in Model 1 to determine the appropriate supplier combinations. The study additionally proposes a ...

Abstract—It is well known that the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) of Saaty is one of the most powerful approach for decision aid in solving of a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Several computing weights methods in AHP are analyzed. Based on least square method, three methods for calculating weights using the least the sum of squares of error criterion, the least the sum of erro...

Previous review papers on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) mainly focused on the application areas and paid scant attention to the framework development of AHP, TOPSIS and their hybrid methods. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), type of scale used in AHP, modified ...

The Airport ground handling services (AGHS) equipment supplier provider selection requires a safety guarantee in terms of the daily operations AGHS provider. providers seek to avoid aircraft damage and airline delays ensure provision reliable high-quality services. primary objective this paper was develop purchasing decision model analytic hierarchy process (AHP), AHP-fuzzy linear programming (...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is a theory of measurement. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Saaty, T.L. Decision.The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is due to Saaty 1980 and is often referred to, eponymously, as the Saaty method. It is popular and widely used.The Saatys method dealt with consistency of the pairwise comparison matrix. A consistent matrix mean e.g. if the dec...

The purpose of this paper is to extend the theory of Hierarchies Consistency Analysis (HCA) to establish a multiple structures evaluation model for the AHP. Traditionally, the AHP process is based on a single evaluation hierarchy, according to statistics and group decision theories, a more objective evaluation will be obtained if we can compromise several estimates. We will construct several di...

This paper explores the use of the optimization procedures in SAS/OR software with application to the contemporary logistics distribution network design using an integrated multiple criteria decision making approach. Unlike the traditional optimization techniques, the proposed approach, combining analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and goal programming (GP), considers both quantitative and qualita...

In this paper we try to introduce a new approach and study the notion of efficiency under a multi objectives linear programming problem in the university by using analysis of hierarchy process (AHP)‎. ‎To this end‎, ‎we first extract some effective parameters due to efficiency offices in university and then prioritized these parameters by the AHP method‎. ‎Hence‎, ‎we could classify the most im...

This paper provides a categorized bibliography on the application of the techniques of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) to problems and issues in finance. A total of 265 references have been compiled and classified according to the methodological approaches of goal programming, multiple objective programming, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), etc., and to the application areas of ca...
