Abstract :
This paper presents the application of paraconsistent logic to the decision-making multi-criteria method AHP - analytic hierarchy process. The model uses pairwise comparison matrixes and multiple specialistspsila evaluations, to calculate the degree of inconsistency of each analyzed alternative. With this tool, decision-makers can acquire greater confidence in decisions based on feeling, subjective parameters or intuitions.
