Hierarchy Process

Cultural, economical, political, and social developments, added to population increases, favored the consolidation of cities. However, rapid city growth in the last decades has contrasted with the slowness in which states and municipalities responded to the new reality. In this sense, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a leading multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, can be applied in the solution of common demands among municipalities, evaluating alternative plans for urban mobility. Since AHP has been applied to these specific decision problems, our research question is: How has AHP been applied to solve decision problems regarding urban mobility? The objective of this work is to identify the state of the art of AHP applications to urban mobility. To answer the research question, this paper presents a literature review (LR). State of the art review (SAR) is an LR approach expected to deliver results with medium comprehensiveness and results closer to exhaustive. With the support of graphical software, three clusters were identified, in the keywords network: AHP, Innovation & Public Management, and Urban Mobility. In the AHP cluster, research is driven by methodological subjects; on Innovation & Public Management, there is an open discussion on local versus national coordination; and the urban mobility cluster has hybrid or non-AHP applications of MCDM.

Hierarchy Process

Conventionally, a traditional ABC analysis based on a single criterion of annual consumption cost is employed in industry to facilitate classification of inventory items. However, other criteria may be important in inventory classification such as lead time, item criticality, storage cost, etc. Hence, for situations like this many multiple criteria decision-making methods are available and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a popular one. The present article demonstrates a new approach by integrating Graph Theory (GT) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision analysis tool for multi-criteria inventory classification. In this paper, 47 disposable items used in a respiratory therapy unit of a hospital were considered for a case study. Output of this hybrid method shows more precise results than that of either traditional ABC or the AHP classification methods. As the proposed decision analysis tool is a simple, logical, systematic and consistent method, it may be recommended for application in diverse industries handling multi-criteria inventory classification systems.https://doi.org/10.13033/ijahp.v9.i2.482

Hierarchy Process

Este trabajo recoge brevemente el concepto, la evolución histórica y las diferentes escuelas de una de las partes de la Investigación Operativa más fructífera y con mayor difusión de los últimos 45 años: la Decisión Multicriterio. Así mismo, analiza la evolución que el método científico ha seguido en este periodo de tiempo y cuáles son las nuevas orientaciones que presenta en el contexto de la Sociedad del Conocimiento. Finalmente, se incluyen una serie de ideas sobre cuáles pueden ser algunos de los retos futuros en el campo de la toma de decisiones multicriterio (TDMC), en particular en el contexto de una de las aproximaciones más populares: el Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (AHP). Tres problemas fundamentales, ya vislumbrados para esta escuela de pensamiento por su creador, necesitan ser abordados como futuros retos en el campo multicriterio. Este trabajo se ha dedicado a la memoria del profesor Thomas L. Saaty, el autor de AHP y uno de los matemáticos más brillantes e ingeniosos de los últimos 60 años, quien acaba de fallecer en agosto de 2017 a los 91 años de edad.

Hierarchy Process

Managers have to make decisions several times a day. The decision-making process can be defined as an essential activity realized by managers every day. Decisions can be implemented intuitively, or by using relevant decision-making methods. This depends on the nature of the decision, as well as the intensity of its possible future effects. The theory of decision-making can be defined as a relatively young discipline. It can be stated that decision-making is no longer an intuitive process. Most decision-making situations are of a multiple criteria character. In this contribution, the authors focus on multiple-criteria decision-making, to which several methods can be applied. In the practical part, the authors use Saaty's method, also known as the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Saaty is considered to be the most important researcher dealing with the issue of multiple-criteria decision-making. The set multiple-criteria decision-making problem was to choose one business partner out of eight under consideration. The decision-making criteria included selected financial indicators and non-financial criteria. The aim of the contribution is to use the Analytic Hierarchy Process to assess potential business partners and to select an optimal candidate.

Hierarchy Process

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a multiple-criteria decision-making tool, is used to prioritize traffic-calming projects. AHP is proposed as an alternative to existing point scoring systems. Prioritization methods used in traffic-calming programs in Portland, Oregon, and Canberra, Australia, are applied; the results are compared to those of AHP. The three methods apparently produce similar rankings when applied to local streets that have speeding problems. AHP produces rankings different from those of the other two methods, however, when complex issues and qualitative factors must be taken into account. AHP may be more suitable in cases in which some factors cannot be quantified. In the examples studied, these factors included traffic diversion, the importance of the street, the impacts of existing traffic-control devices and measures adjacent to elementary schools, terrain, and neighborhood residents’ opinions. None of these factors could readily be assigned a value in a point scoring system. Some of the concerns in applying AHP are the tediousness of making pairwise comparisons between alternatives, the consistency of the comparisons, and the defensibility of the scores. The decision maker should examine the scores to ensure that they are sensible and should be adequately aware of the issues so as to defend the scores. If there are n alternatives, then n( n - 1)/2 pairwise comparisons are needed. Clearly, for expedient application of AHP, the alternatives must be limited to a reasonable number.

Objectives: To identify early suicide risk signs on depressive subjects, so that specialized care can be provided. Various studies have focused on studying expressions on social networks, where users pour their emotions, to determine if they show signs of depression or not. However, they have neglected the quantification of the risk of committing suicide. Therefore, this article proposes a new index for identifying suicide risk in Mexico. Methodology: The proposal index is constructed through opinion mining using Twitter and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Contribution: Using R statistical package, a study is presented considering real data, making a classification of people according to the obtained index and using information from psychologists. The proposed methodology represents an innovative prevention alternative for suicide.
