An AHP-TFN model based approach to evaluating the partner selection for aviation subcontract production

In this paper, an AHP-TFN model based upon the AHP and basic theory of the trigonometrical fuzzy number (TFN) was established and corresponding evaluation process was described, in which to solve the inconsistence of differ judgment matrix set up in similar multi-alternative evaluation problems caused by the AHP or other fuzzy AHP to evaluate the partner selection in the formation of aviation subcontract production alliances. Compared with the AHP, the proposed model combines subjective analysis with quantitative analysis more reasonably, synthesizes group opinions more adequately. Finally, an illustrative example to select the partner of aviation SP demonstrated application and examined its effectiveness was proposed. It is not only fair and reasonable conclusions, but also the consistent degree of opinions provided by different experts can be acquired clearly.
