Analytical hierarchy process

AHP analysis involves five steps. First, identify the overall goal and the important decision criteria. For this project, the goal was to select the most effective pollution prevention options for the refinery. [Pg.376]

Second, organize the criteria into a hierarchical structure based on the relationships among criteria and the project objective. [Pg.376]

establish the relative significance (weight) of each criterion. This usually is accomplished via a set of pairwise comparisons among the different criteria. In each pairwise comparison, two criteria on the same hierarchical level are directly compared. The decision maker (in this case, the study team) establishes the importance of one criteria relative to the other. All unique pairs of criteria at each level of the hierarchy are compared via such pairwise comparisons until all possible combinations have been compared. AHP then translates the pairwise comparison results into a relative weight for each criterion. [Pg.376]

Fourth, evaluate each option within the context of the proposed hierarchy. Overall scores are determined for each option based on its performance on the criteria in the hierarchy. A comparative ranking of options among themselves is thereby established. [Pg.376]

Through a process of elimination and refinement, the following criteria were ultimately selected for ranking options based on quantitative (and sometimes qualitative) assessment of the following characteristics [Pg.377]

Chapter 4 covers the site selection and site controlling phase. Consequently, it deals with the assessment of individual production sites based on primarily qualitative criteria. Alternative Multiple Attribute Decision Analysis methods are reviewed and a decision support model employing the Analytic Hierarchy Process, which can be used both for site selection problems and as a controlling tool to perform site portfolio rankings of entire production networks, is proposed. Experiences from application in industry are reported. [Pg.6]

The objective was to develop a site assessment model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process that can be used both for site selection and site ranking/controlling purposes. While the different application situations to some extent require different criteria the intention was to develop a model as uniform as possible to achieve consistency in site strategy processes.
