Abstract

A cross-impact hierarchy process (CHP), which develops an extended model of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) that is linked to cross-impact analysis, is a useful decision making tool to deal with dependent technological alternatives. However, the intrinsic drawbacks (i.e., the weight concept being undefined and the priority vector derived form the eigenvalue method (EM) violating a condition of order preservation) still exist in the CHP. In view of this, a new MCDM approach based on cross-impact analysis is presented in this paper. Applied to a real example, the new approach is validated to be applicable.
