Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied in this paper to rank obsolescence issues of high priority for nuclear power plants. At first, phenomena of obsolescence issues in nuclear power plants and characteristic of AHP is introduced in this paper; then it is explained and explored to apply AHP to solve the problem. Finally, an application is exampled using weighted sum model and weighted product model as well as AHP to solve the problem. The difference is compared and analyzed to reflect the plant’s concern. Using analytic hierarchy process to rank obsolescence issues for nuclear power plants provides interesting perspective and important support for the decision to select the issues that applied resource is allocated.

Power plants as electricity producers need to be maintained using monitoring performance and continuous improvements. Company management of power plant is difficult to make a decision for the continuous improvement, requires Performance Measurement Tools (PMT) to determine the performance of a gas engine power plant. PMT developed using Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that was defined through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with different field of expertise in company and based on references and the weighting of KPI criterion that was developed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study has developed the weight of KPI that the weight of each criterion which will be used as a reference is Rank 1 – Power Output (MW) – PO (70.81%), Rank 2 – Heat Rate (Btu/kWh) – HR (14.91%), Operating Ratio (%) – OR (8.06%) and Rank 4 – Capacity Factor (%) – CF (6.22%).
