1 Analytic Hierarchy Process for Effective Decision Making in Project Management Glenn Hamamura Dr. Lawrence Rowland

2 Decision Making We are all fundamentally decision makers. Everything we do consciously or unconsciously is the result of some decision. Thomas Saaty developer of the AHP method the whole process of managerial decision making is synonymous with the practice of management Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon we believe that AHP must be part of the common knowledge base of an MBA. Saul Gass University of Maryland September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

3 Decision Making Decision Making is choosing among alternatives in order to attain specific objectives Problem Solving Process Define the Problem Generate Solutions Decide Course of Action Implement Solution Evaluate Solution September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

4 Making Decisions Intuitive Simple, individual decisions Not critical decisions Analysis and Decision Complex decisions (high stakes) Information gathering and analysis Discussion of tradeoff s and alternatives Analytic Model and Decision Complex decisions (high stakes) Development of a decision model September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

5 Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Criteria for decision making are selected for each decision Example: for a car selection fuel efficiency, style, reliability Some criteria may be qualitative, while others are quantitative How do you consider these criteria differences? September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

6 Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP was developed by Dr. Thomas Saaty in the late 1960 s. His goal was to develop a simple, consistent way to make complex decisions September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

7 AHP Decision Areas Strategic Planning Resource Allocation Source Selection Public Policy Project Selection Complex Decision Making September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

8 Uses of AHP Policy analysis of the decision to build the National Missile Defense system Used in student admissions, military personnel promotions, and hiring Prioritization of IT initiatives Establish priorities for criteria to improve customer satisfaction Allocation of funds for research Others Reference: Thomas Saaty 2008 September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

9 AHP Process Goal Criteria Alternatives September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

12 More Complex Example Goal select the best job Flexibility Opportunity Security Reputation Salary Location Time Start up Salary potential Criteria Reference: Saaty 2008 Work Top level Domestic International University Alternatives September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

13 Paired Comparisons 3 Items A, B, C Is A more important than B? Is A more important than C? Is B more important than C? A B C A?? B? C September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC

14 Scale Intensity of Importance Definition Explanation 1 Equal Importance Two activities contribute equally to the objective 3 Moderate Importance Experience and judgment slightly favor one activity 5 Strong Importance Experience and judgment strongly favor one activity 7 Very Strong Dominance is demonstrated in practice 9 Extreme Importance Evidence favoring one activity is the highest possible 2, 4, 6, 8 Intermediate Values September 2011 Systems Excellence LLC
