Penerapan Metode Analytical Hierarchy Process Dalam Pemilihan Handphone Untuk Kebutuhan Mahasiswa

Abstract

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an analytical method used to describe complex problems with many different factors or criteria. This method helps in reducing the complexity of the problem by decomposing the problem into a hierarchy that is easier to analyze. The AHP method evaluates criteria and determines the priority of each criterion, as well as arranges problems in a hierarchy of various levels of criteria, which can assist in the decision-making process. Decision support systems that use the AHP method are used to assist in the decision-making process by combining information technology. This method uses pairwise comparisons to determine the weight of each criterion and evaluate alternative solutions based on the weight of these criteria, so that it can assist in determining the most appropriate choice from various alternatives. The purpose of this research is to calculate the main comparison of each criterion that is perception and the overall main comparison for each alternative multiplied by the comparison.
