The aim of this work is to propose a new methodological approach to define customer specifications through the employment of an integrated Quality Function Deployment (QFD) – Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. The model, which is loosely based on QFD, incorporates the AHP approach to delineate and rank the relative importance weight of expressed judgments for customer needs and functional ...

a new integrated model is developed for information systems planning. in this model, entitled hisspm, a combination of the strengths of critical success factors (csf) method, analytic hierarchy process (ahp) technique and genetic algorithms (ga) is used to identify and prioritize the required information systems. this model considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, as well as the imp...

In this paper, we propose two algorithms. The first supports Enhanced Best effort Quality of service Routing with Multiple and Prioritised Metrics (EBQRMPM). The second supports Enhanced Best effort Quality of service Routing with Multiple Metrics (EBQRMM). Both algorithms apply the concept of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a well-known model in the area of decision making with m...

The use of qualitative judgements in multicriteria decision models is receiving increasing attention and a variety of approaches have been developed which cover a wide range of techniques. One method which has received increasing attention in the literature is the relatively recently developed analytic hierarchy process (‘AHP). This method has been widely documented in a variety of problem area...

Personnel evaluation and selection is a very important activity for the enterprises. Different job needs different ability and the requirement of criteria which can measure ability is different. It needs a suitable and flexible method to evaluate the performance of each candidate according to different requirements of different jobs in relation to each criterion. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP...

Title of thesis: TWO APPLICATIONS INVOLVING THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS Brian David Alford, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis directed by: Professor Bruce Golden Department of Decision and Information Technologies The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular tool used in decision making for ranking alternatives based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this thesis, we investigate ...

analytic hierarchy process (ahp) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. while in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...

here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (erp) system. the fuzzy ahp approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for erp system selection problem. therefore, fuzzy ahp method is used to obtain firm decis...

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 (...
