Abstract

In this study, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), developed by Thomas L. Saaty in 1977, has been applied to purchasing of a press machine that was needed by a govermental institution. The decision process the evaluation of the alternatives are also presented in detail.

Bir Yatırım Problemine Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi Yönteminin Uygulanması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Thomas L. Saaty tarafından 1977 yılında geliştirilen ve literatüre kazandırılan Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi’nin bir KİT kuruluşunun ihtiyacı olan pres makinası alımındaki uygulaması aktarılmıştır. Çalışmada, seçeneklerin ne şekilde değerlendirildiği ve AHP ile nasıl karar verildiği detaylı olarak incelenmiştir.
