Analytical hierarchy process for prioritizing the task

I]

Consider the situation where you have the following four requirements for an employee
information system:
- Response time for short queries must be less than 1 second.
- In defining an employee record, the user must be able to enter the employee name and
be prompted for all the remaining employee attributes that are needed for the employee
record.
Assume the following pair-wise relationship:

Req 1 Req2 Req3 Req4

Req 1 1 3 5 2
Req2 1/3 1 2 2
Req3 1/5 ½ 1 4
Req4 ½ ½ ¼ 1

Analytical hierarchy process and rank these based on your choices.

SOlution

Req 1 Req2 Req3 Req4

Req 1 1 3 5 2
Req2 1/3 1 2 2
Req3 1/5 ½ 1 4
Req4 ½ ½ ¼ 1
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sum 2.03 5.0 8.25 9
The normalized table is formed by dividing each element by the columns sum:

Req 1 Req2 Req3 Req4 Sum

Req 1 .49 .6 .6 .22 1.91

Req2 .16 .2 .24 .22 .82
Req3 .09 .1 .12 .44 .75
Req4 .24 .1 .03 .11 .48

Req 1: 1.91/4 = .4775

Req 2 : .205
Req 3: .187
Req 4: .12

So these requirements 1 through 4 turn out to be in that exact order in priority.

Assume the following pair-wise relationship:

Req1 Req2 Req3 Req4

Req1 1 3 5 2
Req2 2 5 7 9
Req3 4 6 7 2
Req4 8 6 2 1

Solution

Req1 Req2 Req3 Req4

Req1 1 3 5 2
Req2 2 5 7 9
Req3 4 6 7 2
Req4 8 6 2 1
Sum 15 20 21 14
The normalized table is formed by dividing each element by the columns sum:

Req1 Req2 Req3 Req4 Sum Sum/4

Req1 0.066667 0.15 0.238095 0.142857 0.597619 0.149405
Req2 0.133333 0.25 0.333333 0.642857 1.359524 0.339881
Req3 0.266667 0.3 0.333333 0.142857 1.042857 0.260714
Req4 0.533333 0.3 0.095238 0.071429 1 0.25
Sum 1 1 1 1

So these requirements 2,3,4,1
