• “THE
INFORMATION
WE GATHER IS TO
HELP US
UNDERSTAND
OCCURRENCES, IN
ORDER TO
DEVELOP GOOD
JUDGEMENTS TO
MAKE
DECISIONS…”
(Saaty, 2008)
 GENERAL IDEA OF AHP
AHP algorithm is basically composed of two
steps:
1. Determine the relative weights of the
decision criteria
2. Determine the relative rankings(priorities) of
alternatives
Both qualitative and quantitative information
can be compared by using informed judgments
to derive weights and priorities
