Papers
This section presents a collection of AHP/ANP papers. Whether you are a student, academic and/or professional in the field of decision making, you can help us expand this collection by sharing your papers on decision making with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP).

Paper results for keyword: Resource allocationThe Analytic Hierarchy Process and human resource allocation: Half the story
Thomas Saaty, Kirti Peniwati, Jennifer ShangJournal: Mathematical and Computer ModellingThe Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides a way to rank the alternatives of a problem by deriving priorities. A question that occurs in practice is: what is the best combination of alternatives that has the largest sum of priorities and satisfies given constraints? This leads one to consider ...
Read MoreThe allocation of intangible resources: the Analytic Hierarchy Process and linear programming
Thomas Saaty, Luis Vargas, Klaus DellmannJournal: Socio-Economic Planning SciencesAn intangible is an attribute that has no scale of measurement. Intangibles such as effort and skill arise in conjunction with resource allocation but are not usually included directly in a mathematical model because of the absence of a unit of measurement. However, intangibles can be quantified ...
Read MoreAnalytic hierarchy process applied to supply chain management
Valerio Salomon, Claudemir Leif Tramarico, Fernando Augusto Silva MarinsJournal: Applications and Theory of Analytic Hierarchy Process - Decision Making for Strategic DecisionsResource allocation (RA) and supplier selection (SS) are two major decision problems regarding supply chain management (SCM). A supply chain manager may solve these problems by considering a single criterion, for instance, costs, customer satisfaction, or delivery time. Applying analytic hierarch...
Read MoreReflections: Mathematical principles of decision making
Birsen KarpakJournal: International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessThis article discusses my reflections on Mathematical Principles of Decision Making by Thomas Saaty  (Saaty T. L., 2010). In this book, Saaty very clearly explains his Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) theory for measuring both tangible and intangible factors. Experts judgments are elicited about...
