In this paper, a sub-component selection methodology for product design is described. The described technique incorporates the analytic hierarchy process and linear goal programming into the process of evaluating alternatives for sub-components and parts, which enables the design of products by satisfying customer, technical, and financial requirements. Also, an additional comparison technique for comparing sub-component alternatives is developed, called “scoring matrix”. In this technique, pair-wise comparisons are performed within one matrix for all possible criteria to measure the strength of one-to-one relationship between sub-component alternatives. This technique is more appropriate than traditional analytical hierarchy process in addressing problems such as the comparison of sub-component alternatives. An illustrative example demonstrates the application of our methodology to the design of a computer system.read more

Integrated analytic hierarchy process and its applications:a literature review
TL;DR: This research provides evidence that the integrated AHPs are better than the stand-alone AHP, but also aids the researchers and decision makers in applying the integratedAHPs effectively.

A multi-objective programming model for scheduling emergency medicine residents
TL;DR: The main conclusions of the study are that problems of realistic size can be solved quickly and the generated schedules have very high qualities compared to the manually prepared schedules, which require a lot of effort and time from the chief resident who is responsible for this duty.

A shift scheduling model for employees with different seniority levels and an application in healthcare
TL;DR: The model is implemented on a real case in the pulmonary unit of a local hospital for a 6-month period using sequential and weighted methods and results indicate that high quality solutions can be obtained within a few seconds compared to the manually prepared schedules expending considerable effort and time.

An image evaluation approach for parameter-based product form and color design
TL;DR: The design system presented in this study enables a designer to predict the likely image tendencies of a designed product without the need to create and test a prototype model, and he or she can make any design parameter modifications necessary to ensure that the finished product meets its specified image goals.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

A Scaling Method for Priorities in Hierarchical Structures
TL;DR: A method of scaling ratios using the principal eigenvector of a positive pairwise comparison matrix is investigated, showing that λmax = n is a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency.

Highlights and critical points in the theory and application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed discussion with references on the fundamentals of the Analytic Hierarchy Process and in particular of relative measurement, and a discussion of rank and a number of citations of rank reversals attributed to a variety of factors ranging from intransitivity to procedure invariance.

On how to prioritize design requirements during the qfd planning process
TL;DR: In this article, a decision model for the prioritization of design requirements during the QFD planning process is introduced, and the concept of deployment normalization is extended to properly account for dependencies which may exist between design requirements.

An ahp framework for prioritizing customer requirements in qfd: an industrialized housing application
TL;DR: In this paper, a concurrent engineering approach is used to examine the production of an essential component in industrialized housing, a manufactured exterior structural wall panel, which is applied to fully integrate the customer's requirements.
