The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a quantitative decision-making method for complex problems. This report explains AHP

Area of Science:

  • Decision Science
  • Operations Research

Background:

  • Complex decision-making scenarios often involve multiple, conflicting criteria.
  • Quantitative techniques are needed to structure and solve these problems effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the theoretical underpinnings of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
  • To provide a practical, step-by-step guide for applying AHP.

Main Methods:

  • Review of AHP theoretical foundations.
  • Illustrative examples of AHP application.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive understanding of AHP's structure and principles.
  • Demonstrated utility of AHP in addressing multicriteria decision problems.
