This lab exercise here is to ask you to practice Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and help you to understand rational decision-making. Reviewing the lecture note (week 4) pages 32-50, you will find a detailed calculation of weighting by pairwise comparisons. However, we left over the process of how to obtain the actual number of weights. In this exercise, you will need to use data from Google search and your intuition to identify the weight (importance) of the criteria and alternatives. A simple report is required as an output for this software exercise to demonstrate your work. Detailed steps are shown below to complete your report.

1. Revisit your HW3 Q3 and create an initial AHP project #1 with the type H = hierarchy priority evaluation by using an online AHP system https://bpmsg.com/ahp/ .

a. You need at least 2 criteria and at least 2 sub-criteria for each criterion [tip: You can trim out some from your HW #3.]

b. Capture it, save it, and put it in your report.

c. Add a caption for your capture to describe it.

2. After you have an initial AHP project #1, please create project #2 with the type A = alternative evaluation and write a short paragraph to highlight the steps you followed.

a. You need at least 2 alternatives. [tip: you can trim out some from your HW #3.]

b. Capture it, save it, and put it in your report. c

. Add a caption for your capture to describe it.

3. Add your PWC to your project #2 and write a short paragraph to explain your steps.

a. Add product specification website links for your alternatives.

b. Briefly explain why you gave weights like this.

4. Update your rating of the AHP in HW3 as you want.

a. Give a guess for your updated AHP. Will the result be changed?

b. Demonstrate the results after a new PWC step.

c. Briefly explain your thinking of the result.
