The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an established decision method used to synthesize judgments and select the best alternative. The AHP literature extensively discusses both theory and case studies for judgments made by one person. However, instances exist when the judgments of a group of individuals are needed for accurate knowledge representation and robust decision making. One such inst...

DS/AHP is a nascent method for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), applied here to the ranking of sectors (industries). Moreover, the preference of each sector over different criteria is dependent on their expected ability to improve the development prospects of a UK region. Due to the large number of sectors considered in this case, the use of more traditional MCDM techniques such as AHP is...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...

In the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) the decision maker makes comparisons between pairs of attributes or alternatives. In real applications the comparisons are subject to judgmental errors. Many AHP-matrices reported in the literature are found to be such that the logarithm of the comparison ratio can be suÆciently well modeled by a normal distribution with a constant variance. On the basis ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is widely used by decision makers and researchers. The definition of criteria and the calculation of their weight are central in this method to assess the alternatives. However, there are few studies that focus on them. The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic review of literature on the real cases that applied AHP to evaluate how the criteria ar...

In this paper, the definition of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) is given, then based on the aspect of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) formed by priority weights approximatives actual intuitionistic fuzzy complementary judgment matrix(IFCJM), a least deviation priority method for intuitio...

Selecting the best mining method among many alternatives is a multicriteria decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of an integrated approach that employs AHP and PROMETHEE together for selecting the most suitable mining method for the "Coka Marin" underground mine in Serbia. The related problem includes five possible mining methods and eleven criteri...

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 ...

Teaching quality evaluation system is a multi-level and multi-target complex issue, with numerous evaluation indexes, and to take all evaluation indexes as input of neural network would cause complex structure of neural network, thus affecting the performance of teaching quality evaluation system. This paper has proposed a teaching quality evaluation method based on AHP-BPNN. Firstly, the AHP i...
