Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to Solve Complex Decision Problems

Abstract

In this thesis covers two different examples which we solved with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).The Analytic Hierarchy Process was explained with details in this study. People encounter problems which are difficult to solve and understand. Decision making becomes more complex with apply common procedures without knowing any decision making application. AHP is the one of the application to use in decision analysis problem which is helping to change non-numerical judgments to convert in the system with numerical values for decision making process. It allows us to find out which alternative is the optimum as a result in the problem. In this study, 2 problems were solved with AHP. On the first example, it is considered for making decision to buy new phone. There are suggested 3 criteria and 4 alternatives.
