Scilab Programming for Solving Problems of Multi Attribute Decision Making Using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP)

Neethu Fernandes, Rakhi Bhadkamkar

Abstract: In many engineering application and even the real life problems the final decision is based on the evaluation of a number of alternatives in terms of a number of criteria. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an effective approach in dealing with this kind of decision problems. In this paper one of the numerical example of AHP is illustrated and the corresponding user friendly Scilab program is proposed.

Keywords: Analytical hierarchial process, priority vector, multiattribute, decision making techniques, Multi criteria decision making.
