The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

This article elaborates an evaluation of seven software requirements prioritization methods (ANP, binary search tree, AHP, hierarchy AHP, spanning tree matrix, priority group and bubble sort). Based on the case study of local project (automation of Mobilink franchise system), the experiment is conducted by students in the Requirement Engineering course in the department of Software Engineering ...

Strategic decision analysis on Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves tangible and intangible factors and it needs to be evaluated by interdependent multiple criteria. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a practical and popular decision-making tool for SCM. Interdependency among criteria becomes a source of difficulty in directly applying AHP to various SCM decision problems. Hence, the manager...

The specific objectives of the paper are: validation of the theoretical model for strategic planning of e-learning implementation by means of factor analysis, presentation of the structure of AHP and ANP models for decision making about e-learning implementation, comparison between developed AHP and ANP models, analysis of the results of group decision making supported by sw TeamEC2000 based on...

The problem of machine tool selection among available alternatives has been critical issue for most companies in fast-growing markets for a long time. In the presence of many alternatives and selection criteria, the problem becomes a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) machine tool selection problem. Therefore, most companies have utilized various methods to successfully carry out this dif...

Our beloved IJAHP editorial board member and associate editor Dr. Birsen Karpak has announced her retirement from the institution where she worked for past 36 years...

SMEs have to collaborate with other enterprises in a virtual organisation (VO) forms to cope with an increasingly dynamic and competitive environment. Despite the increased interest in the area of collaboration information is still lacking about the risk sources of VO. This paper aims to reinforce the proposal for an integrated methodology to classify, manage and assess network level risk sourc...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP and ANP) has provided an efficient ways for people to rank the priority of criteria and alternatives in terms of numerical ordering. More importantly, it has been greatly accepted by exponentially increasing number of scholars and practitioners. This phenomenon has not occurred in traditional utility theory. Utilizing the concepts of habitual domains, we will try...

In this study, the problem of giving priority to two or more quality chracteristics faced while applying Taguchi Method on multiresponse problems is studied. It was based upon Tong et al.(1997)’s approach on assignment of weights derived from individual experiences. Instead of prioritizing by personal judgments, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) methods were us...
