The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is a theory of measurement. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Saaty, T.L. Decision.The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is due to Saaty 1980 and is often referred to, eponymously, as the Saaty method. It is popular and widely used.The Saatys method dealt with consistency of the pairwise comparison matrix. A consistent matrix mean e.g. if the dec...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

background the purpose of implementing a system such as clinical governance (cg) is to integrate, establish and globalize distinct policies in order to improve quality through increasing professional knowledge and the accountability of healthcare professional toward providing clinical excellence. since cg is related to change, and change requires money and time, cg implementation has to be focu...

abstract- according to article 44 of the i.r. of iran constitution, the iranian economy consists of three sectors; the state, the cooperative, and the private sectors. the aim of this study was to present a hierarchy of criteria for selecting the best economic sector for agricultural development. analytic hierarchy process (ahp) was used to calculate the relative importance of either criteria o...

Previous review papers on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) mainly focused on the application areas and paid scant attention to the framework development of AHP, TOPSIS and their hybrid methods. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), type of scale used in AHP, modified ...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

Every complex problem now days require multicriteria decision making to get to the desired solution. Numerous Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches have evolved over recent time to accommodate various application areas and have been recently explored as alternative to solve complex software engineering problems. Most widely used approach is Analytic Hierarchy Process that combines ma...

Teaching quality is the lifeblood of college survival and development, and improving the teaching quality is the eternal theme of teaching management. To establish teaching quality monitoring system is an important measure to guarantee improvement of the teaching quality. And the teaching quality evaluation is an effective way to improve the teaching quality. By reasonable teaching evaluation, ...

The decision to recruit manpower in an organization requires clear identification of the criteria (attributes) that distinguish successful from unsuccessful performance. The choice of appropriate attributes or criteria in different levels of hierarchy in an organization is a multi-criteria decision problem and therefore multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques can be used for prioritiza...
