Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a frequently used method for ranking alternatives. The alternatives to be ranked are modeled based on a set of criteria. The ranking computed by AHP is trusted on faith notwithstanding the fact that a model is an approximation and liable to failure. We present a model to estimate the trust in the AHP ranking. The model helps in determining if it is prudent to...

Using the results of previous studies of service quality attributes, "ve sets of quality measures are identi"ed. These indicators or measures, through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), are then accurately and consistently weighted. The priority weights are, in turn, incorporated in a goal-programming model to help select the `besta set of quality control instruments for customer data collec...

In this paper, we propose two algorithms. The first supports Enhanced Best effort Quality of service Routing with Multiple and Prioritised Metrics (EBQRMPM). The second supports Enhanced Best effort Quality of service Routing with Multiple Metrics (EBQRMM). Both algorithms apply the concept of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a well-known model in the area of decision making with m...

Often, construction projects fail to achieve their time, budget, and quality goals. This is frequently due to the failure of the contractor to analyze and assess unanticipated risks. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a new approach that can be used to analyze and assess project risks during the bidding stage of a construction project and to overcome the limitations of the traditional appr...

In view of the existing problems of investment risks assessment on high-tech industry projects such as a lack of systematic, with too much subjectivity and from the point to improve assessment efficiency and effectiveness, the paper combined Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with BP Neural Network to establish a new and suitable risk assessment model of high-tech projects. Firstly, we applied AH...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a dpsir model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

The evaluation process of employee performance has been very vital and critical issue for companies that aim to reward employees for meeting their organizational goals and identify whether or not their objectives are met, and develop necessary action plans so that they can be achieved in near future. This selection process is so essential for companies due to the fact that wrong decisions may n...

Effort Estimation has always been a challenging task for the Project managers. Many researchers have tried to help them by creating different types of models. This has been already proved that none is successful for all types of projects and every type of environment. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been identified as the tool that would help in Multi Criteria Decision Making. Researchers ...
