Supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision making problem which includes evaluation factors. In order to select the best suppliers it is crucial to considering the both qualitative and quantitative factors simultaneously. In the supplier selection process, manager also has to consider multicriteria factors related. Thus the integration of all the multi-criteria analysis and those analysis ...

This paper proposes a modified software quality evaluation method based on products comparison, judging by user perceived satisfaction in terms of quality. The focused evaluation model is formulated on the bases of the ISO 9126 quality model as a generally accepted standard and ISO 12119 for software package, and of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is appropriate for comparing paired ...

Application of model base in group decision making that makes up a Group Decision Support System (GDSS) is of paramount importance. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) that has been applied in GDSS. In order to be effectively used in GDSS, AHP needs to be customized so that it is more user friendly with ease of used features. In this paper, we propose a...

This paper describes an action model to measure the performance of libraries. The proposed model is based in the CAF – Common Assessment Framework, the Balanced Scorecard and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The recommended performance indicators are based in the ISO 11620:1998, Adm1:2003 and ISO 2789:2003. The relative weights for each performance measure are calculated using the AHP. The...

Recently, Calantone, Di Benedetto, and Schmidt [2] presented an Analytic Hierarchy Process (Am) modeling approach to new product screening. The illustration of this approach is an example of a decision support model that seeks to aid managers in selecting new product ideas to pursue. In this paper we improve upon this initial AHP model using a "fuzzy" mathematical application. This use of fuzzy...

The non-objective and non-scientific evaluation of sports tourism resources has become a bottleneck which restricts the development of sports tourism industry. In order to make the evaluation of sports tourism resources have more comprehensiveness, accuracy and scientificalness and to promote the healthy and sustainable development of sports tourism industry, this paper, based on the AHP-FUZZY ...

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...

This study presents an additive scale model for the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that suits the decision problem using a linear preference comparison. This study discusses issues related to mathematical denotation, axiom, transitivity and numerical analysis for the additive scale model of AHP. The least squares method and correlation analysis are used to obtain the relative criteria weights...

AIM To investigate the feasibility and utility of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for medication decision-making in type 2 diabetes. METHODS We conducted an AHP with nine diabetes experts using structured interviews to rank add-on therapies (to metformin) for type 2 diabetes. During the AHP, participants compared treatment alternatives relative to eight outcomes (hemoglobin A1c-lowering ...

This paper presents an integrated simulation, multivariate analysis and multiple decision analysis for railway system improvement and optimization. Furthermore, the integrated model is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) that is integrated with computer simulation [24]. The integrated DEA and AHP simulation model can be used for selecting optimum alte...
