Application of fuzzy AHP method for choosing a technology within service company

Abstract

This paper describes the application of AHP and Fuzzy AHP methods within the service company engaged in drawing architectural projects. AHP method is of crucial importance for supporting the decision-making process in the field of technology management, especially when it comes to evaluation and selection of technological alternatives. Fuzzy AHP method represents the elaboration of standard AHP method, and allows for taking into consideration the imprecision and mistakes while assessing criteria and alternatives. The result obtained by using the Fuzzy AHP method matches the result obtained from the standard AHP method. At the same time, it draws attention to some possibilities not apparent in case of standard AHP method. The. real example supported by AHP methodology explicitly reveals the qualitative aspects present in the field of technology management, technological evaluation and selection, which could be formalized and structured in a way that brings results in the form of quantitative estimates.
