Abstract

In view of inconsistency of the judgment matrix obtained by pairwise comparison between increasing alternatives in virtual enterprise (VE) partner selection and evaluation problem by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a new Web-based fuzzy-AHP method is proposed, in which the priority weights of decision criteria at every hierarchy are identified by the AHP and attribute-values of every alternative are determined by the fuzzy relation matrix, then they are converged to the solution. An prototype system based on this method has been developed, and a case study is used to demonstrate its practicability and effectiveness. The results indicate that the proposed method makes it easier for decision-makers to arrive at a consensus decision, obtain fair and reasonable conclusions and examine the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives in terms of each criterion. In addition, this method is suited to eliminating the drawbacks of existing traditional partner selection approaches or other AHP-based methods.
