How to make a decision: The analytic hierarchy process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as discussed by the authors is a multicriteria decision-making approach in which factors are arranged in a hierarchic structure, and the principles and philosophy of the theory are summarized giving general background information of the type of measurement utilized, its properties and applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The analytic hierarchy process—what it is and how it is used
TL;DR: In this paper, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is introduced as a method of measurement with ratio scales and illustrated with two examples, and the axioms and some of the central theoretical underpinnings of the theory are discussed.

Applying environmental criteria to supplier assessment: A study in the application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process
TL;DR: This study illustrates the use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision support model to help managers understand the trade-offs between environmental dimensions and examines how AHP can be incorporated into a comprehensive information system supporting Environmentally Conscious Purchasing (ECP).

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.

Multiple Attribute Decision Making: Methods and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a classification of MADM methods by data type and propose a ranking method based on the degree of similarity of the MADM method to the original MADM algorithm.

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.
