Title: | Use of multicriteria AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method to rank feeding solutions, tested on layers, while observing environmental protection | Authors: | Arama, Madalina Georgeta Criste, Virgil Criste, Rodica Diana Panaite, Tatiana |
Keywords: | AHP method;Ranking;Feeding solutions;Layers;Pollution | Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | National Research‐Development Institute for Animal Biology and Nutrition IBNA | Abstract: | The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a structured method which allows organizing and ranking complex decisions on the basis of mathematics and psychology. Rather than prescribing a ”correct” decision, AHP helps the decision-makers to find a solution that fits best their purpose and the manner of understanding the problem. This method provides a comprehensive and rational framework for the decision-making process, to represent and quantify its elements, to link these elements to the general objectives and to evaluate the alternative solutions. AHP users start by decomposing their decision making problem into a hierarchy of sub-problems that are easier to understand, and which can be analysed independently. The elements of the hierarchy can refer to any aspect of the decision-making problem – tangible or intangible – carefully measured or approximated, properly or poorly understood. The paper gives an example of using the multi-criteria AHP method to rank feeding solutions tested on layers, with the purpose of decreasing the egg cholesterol level, while observing environmental protection. |
