Abstract
The decision-making in product and production engineering, such as the selection of an optimal design alternative, has to incorporatemultiple, often conflicting decision criteria (e. g., cost, technical quality, and the environmental impact) as well as the corresponding domain experts in the decision process. Since companies are faced with competitive pressure resulting in cost and time restrictions, an appropriate IT system supporting rapid and nevertheless accurate decision processes is highly recommended. This article presents the web-based IT system SP-AHP that provides the solution to multi-criteria, multi-stakeholder decision problems. In particular, a flexible and easy-to-use approach for collaborative decision-making as well as the corresponding IT implementation is proposed. Moreover, the software architecture of the entire system and its functionalities are outlined.
