OVERVIEW

The Triptych AHP Worksheet can be used to prioritize (or rank) Items by performing pair-wise comparisons of Items against each other in terms of relative importance. The theory behind this approach comes from the Analytical Hierarchy Process developed by Thomas Saaty in 1980.

FEATURES

  • Create and manage a AHP matrix with up to 200 x 200 Items
  • Add, remove, or insert Items
  • Expand matrix with the click of a button
  • Compare Items against each other
  • Sort Items by Row Total, Relative Importance, or Scaled Importance
  • Automatic calculation of Relative Importance and Scaled Importance

BENEFITS

The main advantage with AHP worksheets is that it can be easily applied in a group setting and allows a team to come to a consensus on the relative priority of any set of Items. For example, you can:
  • generate Importance values for Whats in the QFD worksheet
  • generate Importance values for Criteria in the Pugh, TOPSIS and SDI Design Selection worksheets.
