Abstract :
AHP (analytic hierarchy process) has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is one technique even in case of criteria have dependency. However using original AHP or Inner dependence method, the results often lose reliability because the comparison matrix does not always have sufficient consistency. In these cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria and alternatives using results from a sensitivity analysis is useful. In this paper, we present alternative overall weights by employing some assumptions. Since an idea of less ambiguity is employed, the results show how inner dependence AHP has fuzziness when the comparison matrix is not sufficiently consistent.
