Analytic hierarchy process to assess and optimize distribution network

Application of improved grey relational projection method to evaluate sustainable building envelope performance

“…The AHP technique involves quantitative and qualitative aspects into a unique analysis structure in order to convert the natural thoughts of any human being into an explicit process [34].…”

A performance evaluation model by integrating fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS methods

“…Sambasivan and Fei (2008) evaluate the factors and sub-factors critical to the successful implementation of ISO 14001-based environmental management system and benefits. Sharma, Moon, and Bae (2008) used AHP method to optimize the selection of delivery network design followed by relevant choices for decision-making of Home plus distribution center. Costa and Vansnick (2008) discussed the meaning of the priority vector derived from the principal eigenvalue method used in AHP.…”

Selected Issues in Experimental Economics

“…He uses the AHP to solve complex microeconomic as well as macroeconomic problems,, for instance, to determine a forecast exchange rate of the dollar to the yen on the basis of foreign exchange rate forecasting factors, to generate input-output coefficients for the econometric model of a country's economy or to determine the period and force of an economic recovery in the USA (Saaty 2010). As to management decisions, examples of applying the AHP are: an assessment of corporate performance (Lee et al 1995;Babic and Plazibat 1998), an evaluation of bank Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) strategy (Arbel and Orgler 1990), virtual organization management (Kim 1998), distribution network optimization (Sharma et al 2008), a decision support in merging companies , launching a new product for production and on the market (Ishizaka and Labib 2011b;Chin et al 2008), choosing a project for improving an information system of an organization (Abu-Sarhan 2011), or choosing the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) information system (Wei et al 2005), a choice of a company's management model (Chen and Wanh 2010) and different dimensions of human resources management (Onder and Dogan 2013;Saaty et al 2007). As far as other applications of the AHP in macroeconomics are concerned, one can list, for example, the comparison of economic stabilization models in Latvia (Rivza et al 2009), the evaluation of economic development achieved by local governments in China , the comparison of individual countries' economic situations and the evaluation of their Gross National Product , or prioritizing of development targets in low-income developing countries (Ehie et al 1990).…”
