Chapter 25Fuzzy analytic hierarchy processA simplified approach
Introduction
This chapter presents the basic principles of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Specifically, the underlying assumptions conferring the theory of fuzzy sets are discussed, and a step-by-step guide is provided to calculate a multi-criteria decision-making problem using fuzzy AHP. A case study with a guide to solving the problem is also provided.
