Abstract
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is widely used in many fields as a classical multi attribute decision-making approach. Judgment matrix consistency is the core problem in the AHP. A nonlinear programming model is proposed for improving the consistency of the judgment matrix. Then a genetic algorithm is designed to solve the nonlinear programming model to determine matrix consistency adjustments. And the validity and feasibility of this method is validated by an example.
