THE APPLICATION OF POTENTIAL METHOD IN DECISION MAKING FOR MULTI-ATTRIBUTE OF CATERING SERVICE COMPANIES

Abstract

© 2017 Academic Publications, Ltd. Analytic Hierarchy Process is a method used in structuring, measuring and synthesizing criteria, in particular ranking of multiple criteria in decision making problems. On the other hand, Potential Method is a ranking procedure that utilizes preference graph. Two nodes are adjacent if they are compared in a pairwise comparison whereby the assigned arc is oriented towards the more preferred node. In this paper, Potential Method is used to solve problems in catering service selection. The Potential Method is found to be comparable to Modified Fuzzy Logarithmic Least Square Method in weight determination.
