A quality control approach to consistency paradoxes in AHP
Article Abstract:
The analytic hierarchy process for solving complex decision problems requires a specific consistency check of the decision makers' pairwise comparisons to ensure that they are not being illogical nor random in the evaluation of the pairwise comparisons that they make. It is argued that the so-called standard consistency check does not truly check consistency as there are many instances when decision makers have been logical, non-random and reasonable in making pairwise comparisons yet fail the consistency test. A quality control approach ought to be used if a consistency test is to be done.
