AHP model in natural wood composite products, WPC production planning of agricultural wastes

ABSTRACT: In this case study, based on AHP Model or Analysis Hierarchy Process the required general conditions of market and different technical, economic, and technological approaches of wood-plastic composite products by using existing cellulosic and polymeric agricultural wastes has been considered. The drabber method of research was the base of AHP model which was compared in four levels as matrix and pair wise; then the choices based on the weight and importance in the planning have been obtained. Approximately 70% of the scores are allocated to the calculated AHP variable which the variables related to the threats, social and technical at levels 1, 2 and 3, respectively, have the greatest effect. Meanwhile, after calculating the scores, it was observed that variables at level 4 have the greatest effect which was associated with the specialized, scientific and technical issues and on the basis of science and knowledge–based subjects and environmental issues they are closely related and need more apprenticeship.
