Decision Making with the Analytic Network Process

One of the most advanced and complex multi-criteria decision-making methods is the analytic network process (ANP). This method supports modelling dependencies and feedback between elements in the network. For this reason, the ANP is one of the most appropriate methods for making decisions in fields that are characterised by existing dependencies of higher-level elements on lower level elements....

Validation examples of the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Analytic Network Process

One way to validate a scientific theory is to show that the results predicted by the theory give correct answers; that is, that they match known results. In the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) this usually means finding examples with measures in an already known scale. To validate AHP priority vectors against measures from known scales the measures must first be normalized by dividing by their...

Analysis of Hazard Identification Methods in Process Industries Using Analytic Network Process Technique (ANP)

Background and aims: Hazard identification is a critical factor to ensure safe design and operation of systems in the process industries. Process industries are one of the most complex systems, with a variety of equipment, control systems, and executive procedures. In these industries, the use of hazardous materials as raw materials or products is quite common. Interactions between technical co...
