✦ Synopsis


Problems with high stakes, involving human perceptions and judgements, and whose resolutions have long-term repercussions, call for a rational approach to their solution. The Analytic Hierarchy Process provides an effective, formal methodology that gives assistance to such strategic level decision making problems. Focusing on applying the AHP to decision-making problems in engineering, Strategic Decision Making explores the three main endeavours of human existence: business, defence and governance. Many years of successfully applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process in these domains have created extensive results covering many complex planning, resource, allocation and priority setting problems throughout industry and business. Β· Case studies drawn from years of successful, practical application experience. Β· Discusses applications of decision making for real life problems. Β· Worked examples and solutions to problems throughout. The reader will gain comprehensive exposure to the extent of assistance that a formal methodology, such as AHP, can provide to the decision maker in evolving decisions in complex and varied domains. Decision makers, in business and industry around the world, will find this valuable for practical use as a working tool.
