...K. Shyjith; M. Ilangkumaran; S. Kumanan Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on the use of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to select an optimum maintenance strategy for a textile industry. Design/methodology...

... intangible factors. The other approach is analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a decision support method which can facilitate labor allocation. In this paper, the authors propose a decision support system with fuzzy AHP in weighing the importance of different intangible criteria; an extent analysis approach...

This paper discusses how the Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied in a method to identity the preferred maintenance organization for one particular weapons system of the Norwegian Army. We also find it necessary to evaluate the robustness of the decision using Monte Carlo simulations...
