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...

Abstract: This research proposes a hierarchical aggregation approach using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for indicators. The core logic of the proposed approach is to reflect the hierarchical structures of indicators and their relative priorities in constructing composite indicators (CIs), simultaneously. Under hierarchical structures, the indicators of si...

To deal with the underlying complexities of the team selection process, a methodology for...

An assessment of potential groundwater areas in the Ifni basin, located western Anti-Atlas range Morocco, was conducted based on a multicriteria analytical approach that integrated set geomorphological and hydroclimatic factors influencing availability this resource. This involved use geographic information systems (GIS) hierarchical process (AHP) models. Different were classified weighted acco...

An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach that can be used either for the analysis and comparison of the quality of several telecommunications companies, or for the evaluation of alternate technologies in telecommunications is presented. The method is based on pairwise comparison between several factors that affect the quality of service in a hierarchical structure. Two particular formulatio...
