The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) may be used where pairwise comparisons of objectives and opportunities are available. A decision maker is considering one of two cars, A and B, for purchase. The decision is based on three criteria; Fuel Efficiency, Comfort and Safety. The comparisons of the criteria yields the following matrix; Comparison of the cars yields the following matrices; Using these comparisons, apply the AHP and answer; (i) What percentage weighting is the decision maker placing on each of Fuel Efficiency, Comfort and Safety in evaluating each candidate? (ii) Which car is more favourable? Explain why. (iii) Discuss why for large numbers of choices pairwise comparisons may be mutually inconsistent.
