Özet

ABSTRACT An analytical way to reach the best decision is more preferable in many business platforms. When variables are quantitative and number of criteria is not high, then one can use several analysis tools and make his/her decision and solve the problem. However, many times beside the measurable variables, there exist qualitative variables, or people are supposed to prefer the best among the many choices, thus, an analytical way to make a successful decision is needed. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the best ways for deciding among the complex criteria structure in different levels. Fuzzy AHP is a synthetic extension of classical AHP method when the fuzziness of the decision makers is considered. In this paper, the comparison of classical AHP and fuzzy AHP on a case study that is constructed for the same hierarchy structure and criteria set. Keywords: Analytic Hierarchy Process, Selection Criteria, Fuzzy Sets
