The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a problem solving framework used in decision making. Developed in the 1970s, it is a systematic process for representing the elements of a problem, for relating those elements to overall goals, and for choosing among alternative solutions.
While AHP can be used by individuals working on straightforward problems, it is best suited to situations where teams of people are working on problems that are highly complex. It has the proven ability to resolve or assist in resolving a wide range of important decision problems. It has been successfully applied to many complex planning, resource allocation, and priority setting problems in business, government, and elsewhere.
