This paper has two main objectives. The first objective is to provide a mathematically grounded technique to construct local and global thresholds using the well-known rate of change method. The next objective, which is secondary, is to show the relevance and possibilities of applying the AHP/ANP in absolute measurement (AM) compared to the relative measurement (RM) mode, which is currently widely used in the AHP/ANP community. The ability to construct a global threshold would help increase the use of AHP/ANP in the AM mode (rating mode) in the AHP/ANP community. Therefore, if the first specific objective is achieved, it would facilitate reaching the second, more general objective. For this purpose, a real-life example based on the construction of a multi-criteria index and threshold will be described. The index measures the degree of lag of a neighborhood through the Urban and Social Deterioration Index (USDI) based on an AHP risks model. The global threshold represents the tolerable lag value for the specific neighborhood. The difference or gap between the neighborhood’s current status (actual USDI value) and this threshold represents the level of neighborhood deterioration that must be addressed to close the gap from a social and urban standpoint. The global threshold value is a composition of 45 terminal criteria with their own local threshold that must be evaluated for the specific neighborhood. This example is the most recent in a large list of AHP applications in AM mode in vastly different decision making fields, such as risk disaster assessment, environmental assessment, the problem of medical diagnoses, social responsibility problems, BOCR analysis for the evolution of nuclear energy in Chile in the next 20 years and many others. (See list of projects in Appendix).

T This research aims to develop a model for the implementation of electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) in Indonesia. It employed the qualitative and quantitative method. Data were collected through interviews with airport stakeholders including ground handling, airline and airport experts. The data analysis used the Analytical Network Process (ANP) with Super Decisions software tools. The ANP is a mathematical theory that can be used to analyze the influence of approaches and assumptions used to solve related problems. The key stakeholders from the airlines, ground handling, and airport authority agreed that the critical criteria to implement electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) are emissions standards, pollution sources, limit value, employee exposure, and stationary measurements. The alternative solutions are regulation, company finance, and infrastructure. Those criteria and alternative solutions are in line with the Indonesian government’s regulation, supported by provision of the governor, concerning vehicle tax incentives for electric battery vehicles to support ground handling companies investment in electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) to reduce emissions in airports.

The purpose of this work is to propose a method of algorithmic decision making that builds on the Analytical Hierarchy Process by applying reinforcement learning. Decision making in dynamic environments requires adaptability as new information becomes available. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides a method for comparative decision making but is insufficient to handle information that becomes available over time. Using the opinions of one or many subject matter experts and the AHP, the relative importance of evidence can be quantified. However, the ability to explicitly measure the interdependencies is more challenging. The interdependency between the different evidence can be exploited to improve the model accuracy, particularly when information is missing or uncertain. To establish this ability within a decision-making tool, the AHP method can be optimized through a stochastic gradient descent algorithm. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted on air target threat classification in time series developing scenarios.

The budgetary constraints for the Brazilian Navy (BN) have caused several negative effects, resulting in an undersized fleet, decreasing the capacity to protect marine oil and natural gas fields, combat marine pollution from ships, and monitor other illegal activities at sea and inland waters. This paper aims to choose a medium-sized warship to be built by the BN, through the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. After a bibliometric study on Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM), the AHP was chosen as the most appropriate method for the proposed case study. We analyzed three ship projects with regard to nine operational and economic criteria, taking into account the evaluations of BN officers with recognized experience and knowledge in military operations. We also introduced a sensitivity analysis based on the relationship between standard deviation and mean scores in order to verify and increase the reliability of the ranking. As a result, the methodology suggested that the best option is to build a brand-new ship with more significant modernizations to provide for the operational needs of the BN.

The mining industry plays an important role in the economic development of Malaysia. However, uncontrolled mining activities have caused serious environmental impacts. Recently, bauxite mining in Kuantan, in the state of Pahang, stained fifteen kilometers of Pahang’s coastline with red arsenic particles and heavy metal pollution washed from open-pit bauxite mines into the nearby sea. This has caused potentially catastrophic damages to the ecosystem off the coast of Pahang. This triggered the Government of Malaysia to issue a temporary ban on bauxite mining while the state government engaged in expensive clean-up. Mining activities require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Environmental decisions are complex and multidisciplinary including knowledge bases which incorporate natural, physical, and social sciences, politics, and ethics. This research proposes a decision support framework that uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to help decision makers in EIA pertaining to the bauxite mining industry.

The purpose of this article is to propose an alternative approach for portfolio optimization combining financial and ethical constraints in one hand, and objective and subjective investor’s preferences in the other hand. This approach intends to support investors in selecting and optimizing financial and social portfolio’s performances. More precisely, we introduce analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to measure the ethical performance (EP) score of each asset considering ethical criteria. For its part, fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) is used to determine the overall financial quality score of assets with respect to key financial criteria i.e., short term return, long term return, and risk. Besides, interactive fuzzy programming approach is applied to support the investor’s decision, considering its subjective preferences. The robustness of our approach is tested through an empirical study involving the case of the Casablanca Stock Exchange (CSE). The results give evidence that the Socially Responsible (SR) Portfolio have performed similar to the conventional one, as no significant differences were found in term of return. However, the SR portfolio allows the investor to achieve his ethical goal, against a slight financial sacrifice.

This research aims to analyze a literature review of publications that have incorporated the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) methods. The AHP and ANP methods have contributed to decision-making in complex situations in recent years and possess widespread applications. Such applications are spread over the years with publications in various major areas such as engineering/technology/applied sciences, social sciences, health sciences, and environmental studies. These two methods provide multiple solutions to researchers in these fields, which is why they are being considered in the current study. For this purpose, data was collected from 920 research papers after a vigorous literature review using different search engines. This paper aims to classify the publications on AHP and ANP methods from the years 2000 to 2019 to identify recognized journals based on their indexes. Furthermore, another objective of this study is to compare total publications by year, publications by field by year, and lastly, observe the distribution by country of the studies. This paper concludes that the highest number of publications are from Turkey, and the highest number of publications used AHP method applications in every category. Most of the publications belonged to the technical fields, followed by social sciences. The study concluded that the AHP method is more widely preferred by researchers in almost every field and application because it tends to produce more accurate results than the ANP.

Higher education places a great emphasis on research. In order to remain competitive, Catholic universities also place a great focus on research. The quality and quantity of lecturer research is one of the determining factors in the ranking of a tertiary institution. An evaluation of lecturer research productivity requires an instrument to measure lecturer research activities and understand determinants. Lecturer productivity involves many complex factors that are both objective and subjective, and is considered part of multi-criteria decision making. This study uses the AHP approach to determine the weights of the criteria and sub-criteria and their dominant factors. This method is used to evaluate the productivity of lecturers at Unika De La Salle Manado and has implications and applications for all universities.
