Abstract :
The paper proposes a structured model for evaluating distance education system alternatives using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). Selecting process of an alternative has been very important issue for education centers for years. The paper aims to demonstrate how FAHP model can help in solving such decisions in practice. The effectiveness of the FAHP model is illustrated using a company in China and the results validated using fuzzy AHP. It also describes the related research of FAHP.
