| Abstract: | The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) requires a specific consistency check of the pairwise comparisons in order to ensure that the decision maker is being neither inconsistent nor random in his or her pairwise comparisons. For the purpose of illustrating the quality control approach for consistency checks in AHP, a case study is presented. It involves a decision of a western Canadian engineering faculty to implement a particular type of an undergraduate engineering program. This paper argues against the use of the standard consistency check. If a consistency test is to be done, a quality control approach is recommended. |
