Abstract
The author proposes a new development and some modifications to improve the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in eliciting and evaluating subjective judgments. These include the constant-sum measurement scale (1-99 scale) for comparing two elements, the logarithmic least squares method (LLSM) for computing normalized values, the sum of inverse column sums (SICS) for measuring the degree of (in)consistency, and sensitivity analysis of pairwise comparisons matrices. In addition, the author discusses the process of constructing hierarchies: generating criteria, classifying criteria, and screening decision alternatives
