If we only make decisions intuitively, we are inclined to believe that all kinds of information are useful and the larger the quantity, the better. Not all information is useful for improving our understanding and judgements. The information we gather is to help us understand occurrences, in order to develop good judgements to make decisions about these occurrences. Everything we do consciously or unconsciously is the result of some decision. 1 Introduction We are all fundamentally decision makers. His work is in decision making, planning, conflict resolution and in neural synthesis. He won the Gold Medal from the International Society for Multicriteria Decision Making for his contributions to this field. He is internationally recognised for his decision-making process, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and its generalisation to network decisions, the Analytic Network Process (ANP).

The derived priority scales are synthesised by multiplying them by the priority of their parent nodes and adding for all such nodes.
AHP DECISION SAATY HOW TO
The judgements may be inconsistent, and how to measure inconsistency and improve the judgements, when possible to obtain better consistency is a concern of the AHP. The comparisons are made using a scale of absolute judgements that represents, how much more, one element dominates another with respect to a given attribute. It is these scales that measure intangibles in relative terms. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales. To do that, they have to be measured along side tangibles whose measurements must also be evaluated as to, how well, they serve the objectives of the decision maker.
