The purpose of this paper is to propose new evaluation criteria and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model to assess the expanded national immunization programs (ENIPs) and to evaluate two alternative health care policies. One of the alternative policies is that private clinics and hospitals would offer free vaccination services to children and the other of them is that public health centers...

This paper discusses the multimedia processing environment, the applicability of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in problem solving, and how AHP can be applied to the selection of multimedia authorizing systems (MAS) in a group decision environment. A MAS selection model is proposed to facilitate the group's decision making in the selection of MAS. Six software engineers, who are technically c...

Supply Chain Management is an integrated approach to increase the effectiveness of the logistics chain by improving cooperation between the players in the chain. Supplier selection is one of the most crucial activities performed by organizations because of its strategic importance. Supplier selection is a multi-objective problem involving both quantitative and qualitative criteria the paper pro...

Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used for a variety of applications such as supplier selection, customer requirements assessment and the like. The vast majority of the applications, however, were found avoiding the use of sophisticated approaches for fuzzy AHP such as fuzzy least squares method while using a simple extent analysis for the sake of simplicity. The extent ana...

Disturbances in body awareness offer important insights into neurocognitive processes involved in the construction of the bodily self. This review will focus on a specific disorder of awareness, namely, anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP), or the denial of motor deficits contralateral to a brain lesion. Recently some progress has been made towards the management and rehabilitation of AHP, however ...

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...

This paper focuses on the application of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique in the context of sustainable development to establish and optimise health care waste management (HCWM) systems in rural areas of developing countries. This is achieved by evaluating the way in which the AHP can best be combined with a life cycle management (LCM) approach, and addressing a main objective o...

This paper presents a fuzzy optimization model to solve multicriteria decision making (MCDM) systems based on a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). To deal with the imprecise judgments of decision makers, a fuzzy AHP decision making model is proposed as an evaluation tool, where the expert’s comparison judgments are translated into fuzzy numbers. Unlike the conventional fuzzy AHP meth...

-This study presents an evaluation model for purchasing life insurance and annuity insurance using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy logic. Four factors are considered as the inputs of the proposed model including age, annual income, educational level and risk preference. To build the model, we interviewed five experts with at least three years of working experience in an insurance c...

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a multiple criteria decision making tools especially in the problems with spatial nature or GIS-based. In addition this study treats the steps AHP, its manner to apply and its weaknesses and strengths and ultimately the fuzzy modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) which is proposed after that the concepts like of fuzziness, uncertainty and vagueness ...
