Exam 16: Analytic Hierarchy Process

Table M1-5 It is International Day on campus and a professor of Scottish, German, and Hawaiian ancestry is weighing his options for traditional attire among his kilt, lederhosen and grass skirt.He decides to weigh these alternatives using AHP and has decided that comfort, style, and ease of use are the most important criteria. His pairwise comparison matrices are as follows: -Use Table M1-5 to determine the priority for the Kilt in the style factor's normalized matrix.

The AHP is typically preferred over the MFEP since it requires fewer calculations.

Decision situations where we have difficulty in accurately determining various weighting factors are excellent candidates for the Analytic Hierarchy Process analysis.

His pairwise comparison matrices are as follows: -Using Table M1-5, what is the consistency ratio for the comfort factor?

Determine the weighted sum vector for the indicated factor evaluation and its original pairwise comparison matrix.

Which of the following matrices is not a correct pairwise comparison matrix?

Given the following consistency vector 7.369716 8.524687 7.446627 5.208015 5.459544 Calculate the consistency index.

When using the multifactor evaluation process, it is helpful if the importance weights for factors sum to 1.0.

Determine the weighted sum vector for the indicated factor evaluation and its original pairwise comparison matrix.

Given the following initial pairwise comparison matrix, determine the consistency ratio.

Table M1-1 Jason Rule has developed the following table to represent his research into the decision as to which college he would like to attend after graduation: -Based on his weights and ratings of colleges, which college should he attend?

Given the following key factors and their importance weights, determine a total weighted evaluation for A3.

Upon completion of an Analytic Hierarchy Process analysis, the CR = 0.047, thus

Describe a multifactor evaluation process.
