The analytic hierarchy process (AHP): Prospects for application in supply chain management

Abstract

The most expedient way, in our opinion, to generalize the numerous AHP studies is by the formatting of a morphological table and the corresponding block diagram. On the basis of the table, it is possible to take into account unobvious variants that can be missed with a simple search. Thus, the AHP, despite its obvious benefits, requires further research so as it can be successfully applied in the management of supply chains.
