The post-evaluation of an engineering project via AHP

Abstract

The authors discuss the post-evaluation of a large engineering project in Beer-Sheva, Israel, in which a new production line was constructed using new technology to produce a new cleaning detergent. In this post-evaluation, half of the evaluators graded the project as a success, while the other half as a failure. But after using the analytical hierarchy (AHP), considering several attributes, the overall grade of grade of each evaluator was high. The six attributes used were: meeting the schedule, meeting the budget, how closely the original design was followed, performance quality, level of design, and the level of maintenance and accessibility of parts.<>
