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 ...

This research paper aims to give a new dimension to the decision maker by proposing a hybrid model of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) in 3PL selection. It uses an integrated approach of AHP-PROMTHEE as a selection methodology to select an efficient and requisite 3PL firm for a manufacturer. A relatively new and us...

JMP® scripting language (JSL) can be used to implement the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP helps decisionmakers choose the best solution from several options and selection criteria. Thomas Saaty developed AHP as a decision-making method in the 1970s. AHP has broad applications in operations research, quality engineering, and design-for-six-sigma (DFSS) situations. AHP builds a hierarchy (...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) (Saaty, 1990) has been accepted as a leading multiattribute decision model both by practitioners and academics. AHP can solve decision problems in various fields by the prioritization of alternatives. The heart of the most familiar version of the AHP is the Saaty’s eigenvector method (EM) which approximates an positive reciprocal matrix n n× ) ( ij a A = , ,...

Introduction Complex management of JIA comprises of drug treatment, physiotherapy/occupational therapy, education and counselling. It should be provided by a trained multidisciplinary team of physicians and allied health professionals (AHP). In the traditional model, nursing and physiotherapy staff competencies are limited by the leading role of physicians and support of an equally important ro...

Original scientific paper This research gives an overview of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Intuitionistic FuzzyTOPSIS (IFT) methods. This study deals with an evaluation methodology based on the AHP-IFT where the uncertainties are handled with linguistic values. First, the supplier selection problem is formulated using AHP and, then, it is used to determine the weights of the criteria...

Background: Choosing the most suitable candidate for the position of salesperson is indeed a complex task for managers because several criteria important for the position should be taken into consideration. Such a choice should be considered as a multiple-criteria problem, which can be solved by using the AHP method. Objectives: The main goal is to investigate which criteria are the most import...

Purpose – To provide a good insight into the use of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) that is a multiple criteria decision-making methodology in evaluating flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). Design/methodology/approach – In this study AHP is used to the decision by a tractor manufacturing plant to implement FMS. Also sensitivity analysis is conducted to see how realistic the final outcome is...

Land suitability analysis is employed to evaluate the appropriateness of land for a particular purpose whilst integrating both qualitative and quantitative inputs, which can be continuous in nature. However, in agricultural modelling there is often a disregard of this contiguous aspect. Therefore, some parametric procedures for suitability analysis compartmentalise units into defined membership...
