Abstract
In this study of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a modified paired comparison method and its solution method are proposed. In traditional AHP, pairwise comparisons were carried out using a nine-stage evaluation process, and then the pairwise comparison matrix was constructed by the decision maker. The elements of the pairwise comparison matrix have the property of reciprocity. For the decision maker, this property is not easy to judge for pairwise comparisons. Hence, we would like to reduce the burden of judgment for the decision maker. The purposes of this study are to construct a non-reciprocal pairwise comparison matrix and to obtain perfectly consistent weights. By applying the proposed methods to examples, the process of these methods is illustrated.
