  • Introduction to the course4:42

    Explore how the analytical hierarchy process supports decision making by structuring criteria, comparing alternatives, and reaching consensus, with examples like buying a car and a hands-on Excel solution.

  • Introduction to AHP4:04

    Apply the Analytical Hierarchy Process to combine qualitative and quantitative analysis in a hierarchical, matrix-based framework for complex decisions, including site selection and planning, with Excel implementations.

  • Download Additional Resources0:18

    Dear Learners,

    Now that we have learned the Theoretical concepts of AHP, we now move towards solving some real life Examples using MS Excel.

    Before you proceed with the next lecture I would recommend you to download the AHP Resource file from the link given below and practice the concept as you learn along with me.

    Lets now jump into problem solving.

  • Steps Involved in AHP8:59

    Explore the steps involved in the analytic hierarchy process (ahp), defining the problem, building a hierarchy, gathering expert input, performing pairwise comparisons on a 1–9 scale, and evaluating alternatives.

  • Setting up Decision Hierarchy3:45

    Set up an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) by defining the decision problem, building a graphical structure with goals, criteria, and alternatives, and applying judgments to weigh criterion importance.
