There are several methods for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) such as multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP. However, these methods are compensatory optimization approaches for which bad score on some criteria can be compensated by excellent scores on other criteria. So, the Elimination and Choice Translating Reality III (ELECTRE I...

The integrated evaluation method is the most important tender evaluation method in material procurements. However, subjective consciousness of the evaluation experts and the weights of the technical conditions, business conditions and price conditions have excessive impact on the evaluation results, which make the process and result of tender evaluation undependable. In this paper an improved i...

This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...

A multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method, as its own name suggests, is for use in situations when more than one criterion must be considered. In this work, we will focus on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), one of the well-known and most widely used MCDM approaches. Despite the extensive application of this method in various fields of decision making, AHP has been combined within unce...

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are necessitating accurate diagnoses of seawater intrusion (SWI) to ensure the sustainable utilization groundwater resources in coastal areas. Here, vulnerability SWI was assessed by classifying existing GALDIT into static parameters (groundwater occurrence (G), aquifer hydraulic conductivity (A), distance from shore (D)) dynamic (height groundwater-l...

In a paper by Chang [D.Y. Chang, Applications of the extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP, European Journal of Operational Research 95 (1996) 649–655], an extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP was proposed to obtain a crisp priority vector from a triangular fuzzy comparison matrix. It is found that the extent analysis method cannot estimate the true weights from a fuzzy comparison matrix and has l...

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...

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...

The physical class is always out of the door. This class model is different from the traditional class. As this special characteristic, how to ensure the weight of the sports test course achievement evaluation becomes necessary and important. The application of AHP makes it possible to carry out the quantity evaluation in the sports research. The study makes a comprehensive evaluation with AHP ...

This work focuses on the use of mult i-criteria decision-making method AHP for using in educational and vocational guidance. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), proposed by the mathematician Thomas Saaty in 1980, is a method of analysis greatly used in the context of a mult i-criteria analysis; it allows the comparison and the choice between the preset options. To achieve this goal, a vital wor...
