Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

This translated book is a book of case studies in multicriteria decision-making using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basics of the theory are described in a clear, non-technical manner with many examples. Methods are given for calculating best options using simple arithmetic. Suitable for business leaders and also the best book for introducing the AHP to students. This book addresses the issue of how to structure a complex situation, identify its criteria and other factors whether intangible or concrete, measure the interactions among them in a simple way, and synthesize all the information to obtain priorities. The priorities can then be used in a benefit/cost setting to develop portfolios of activities, one of the major concerns of corporations today. They can also be used in government and other organizations with different goals and purposes. Moreover, the method offers practitioners a simple test of the consistency of their judgments. It can also help them test the compatibility of projected policies with established ones.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Thomas L. Saaty is the creator of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a theory for how to establish measures for intangibles most often used in decision making. It has been generalized to the Analytic Network Process (ANP) for decision making with feedback and dependence in networks. The AHP/ANP is particularly useful in group decision making and for handling large-scale multi-criteria decision problems common in business, industry, and government. He holds the chair of Distinguished University Professor at the Pitt Graduate School of Business of the University of Pittsburgh. In 2008 the Institute of Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS)recognized him with its Impact Award: "The AHP has revolutionized how we resolve complex decision problems." In 2007 he was awarded the Akao Prize from the International Society of Quality Function Deployment. In 2005 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering: "For the development and generalization of the analytic hierarchy process and the analytic network process in multicriteria decision-making." The International Society of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (ISAHP.org) was established in 1988 and meets every two years.
