~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), is an innovative software
package which will provide you with a formal, analytical approach, to
decision and problem analysis. Using a proven scientific method, the
AHP will help you to avoid intuition and speculation, while
preserving such qualitative factors as experience and judgment.
Employing pairwise comparisons and a hierarchical structure of the
problem, the AHP will allow you to easily quantify subjective or
intangible factors. Furthermore, decomposing a complex problem into a
hierarchical model, has the advantage of allowing you to focus your
attention on each part of the problem separately. Hence, a difficult
problem or decision, is reduced to simple comparisons of two
elements, with respect to only one criteria or factor.
Based on your pairwise comparisons, the AHP will calculate weights
for each element in the hierarchical model. It will also report your
judgment consistency, and indicate specifically which judgments, if
any, are inconsistent.
Because of it's ability to allow the user to easily quantify
subjective or intangible factors, the AHP may be used beyond the
traditional decision or problem analysis type of situations. One
example might be taste testing a new food or beverage product.
