Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a decision-making tool that helps people choose the best option when faced with complex choices. It works by breaking down the decision into smaller, manageable parts, comparing options pair-by-pair based on different criteria. These comparisons are used to assign numerical weights, reflecting the importance of each factor. By combining these weights, AHP provides a clear overall ranking of options, enabling informed and balanced decisions. It’s commonly used in business, planning, and policy to handle uncertainty and prioritize effectively.
