How to make a decision: The analytic hierarchy process

TLDR
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as discussed by the authors is a multicriteria decision-making approach in which factors are arranged in a hierarchic structure, and the principles and philosophy of the theory are summarized giving general background information of the type of measurement utilized, its properties and applications.

Best-worst multi-criteria decision-making method

TL;DR: In this article, a new method, called best-worst method (BWM) is proposed to solve multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, in which a number of alternatives are evaluated with respect to different criteria in order to select the best alternative(s).

Applying environmental criteria to supplier assessment: A study in the application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process

TL;DR: This study illustrates the use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision support model to help managers understand the trade-offs between environmental dimensions and examines how AHP can be incorporated into a comprehensive information system supporting Environmentally Conscious Purchasing (ECP).
