Abstract
A simplified procedure for weight computations from the pair-wise comparison matrices of triangular fuzzy numbers in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is proposed. A transform T:R3→R1 has been defined for mapping the triangular fuzzy numbers to equivalent crisp values. The crisp values have been used for eigenvector computations in a manner analogous to the computations of the original AHP method. The objective is to retain both the ability to capture and deal with inherent uncertainties of subjective judgments, which is the strength of fuzzy modeling and the simplicity, intuitive appeal, and power of conventional AHP which has made it a very popular decision making tool.
