Abstract

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is widely used to deal with multi-criteria decision-making problems thanks to its simplicity and flexibility. However, it is often criticized for subjectivity and inconsistency in assigning the comparison weights that are based on expert judgments. In order to remedy these shortcomings, we propose in this paper an algorithm that automatically generates the pairwise comparison weights of alternatives according to each considered criterion. In addition, we demonstrate through an example that the judgment matrices constructed by the algorithm are very consistent.
