Abstract: | This is the first part of an introduction to multicriteria decision making using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and
its generalization, the Analytic Network Process (ANP). The discussion involves individual and group decisions both with the
independence of the criteria from the alternatives as in the AHP and also with dependence and feedback in the entire decision
structure as in the ANP. This part explains the Analytic Hierarchy Process, with examples, and presents in some detail the
mathematical foundations. An exposition of the Analytic Network Process and its applications will appear in later issues of
this journal.
Thomas L. Saaty holds the Chair of University Professor, Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, and
obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale University. Before that he was a professor at the Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania for ten years. Prior to that he spent seven years at the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in the State
Department in Washington, DC, that carried out the arms reduction negotiations with the Soviets in Geneva. His current research
interests include decision-making, planning, conflict resolution and synthesis in the brain. As a result of his search for
an effective means to deal with weapons tradeoffs at the Disarmament Agency and, more generally, with decision-making and
resource allocation, Professor Saaty developed The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and its generalization to dependence and
feedback, the Analytic Network Process (ANP). He is co-developer of the software Expert Choice and of the software Super Decisions
for decisions with dependence and feedback. He has authored or co-authored twelve books on the AHP/ANP. Professor Saaty has
also written a number of other books that embrace a variety of topics, including Modern Nonlinear Equations, Nonlinear Mathematics, Graph Theory, The Four Color Problem, Behavioral Mathematics, Queuing Theory,
Optimization in Integers, Embracing the Future and The Brain: Unraveling the Mystery of How It Works. His most recent book is Creative Thinking, Problem Solving & Decision Making. The book is a rich collection of ideas, incorporating research by a growing body of researchers and practitioners, profiles
of creative people, projects and products, theory, philosophy, physics and metaphysics...all explained with a liberal dose
of humor. He has published more than 300 refereed articles in a wide variety of professional journals. He has been on the
editorial boards of Mathematical Reviews, Operations Research, Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, Mathematical and Computer
Modeling, Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, Applied Mathematics Letters, and several others. He also served as consultant
to many corporations and governments. |
