The application of analytic hierarchy process for innovative solution: A review.

Abstract

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) serves as an all-inclusive and logical approach to evaluate complex decisions making. This paper discusses a review on the methods of AHP in various power plant and production plant for multiple factors as well as indicates potential gaps from the researchers' perspectives. Many analyses have identified various AHP applications to solving problems that necessitate both qualitative and quantitative elements. Generally, the applications of AHP cover large scale (complicated and real) and industrial oriented problems. A larger part of these applications or AHP case studies are arranged and a couple of paper focused on adding to AHP displaying prior to applying practical problems. As evidenced in this review, AHP has been applied in innovative solutions in industries such as biological treatment process, hydropower plant, electricity generation, and plastic waste management. Hence, this review provides a comprehensive list of the various applications of AHP in activities and fosters a system for highlighting the areas that that future researchers should focus on to assure a more thorough evaluation of the gaps.
