RightChoiceDSS

RightChoiceDSS is a decision support application that utilizes the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), developed at the Whatron School of Business by Thomas Saaty (Saaty, Thomas L. 1980. The Analytic Hierarchy Process ). It allows decision makers to model a complex problem in a hierarchical structure showing the relationships of the goal, objectives (criteria), sub-objectives, and alternatives.

Using the application of data, experience, insight and intuition in a logical and thorough way it enables decision makers to derive rational scale priorities while incorporating both objective and subjective considerations.

RightChoiceDSS will help you solve the issues you face when you need to make a complex decision.

Here are some key features of "RightChoiceDSS":

￭ Graphically model and maintain the hierarchy of the goal, objectives and criteria using the brainstorm whiteboard. ￭ Graphically perform pairwise comparison of all of the criteria and the alternatives while calculating the consistency indices and criteria weight in real-time. ￭ Maintain documentation about the criteria and alternatives, and record the rationale for the pairwise ratings. ￭ Facilitate group ratings allowing individual participant ratings and rationale to be recorded. ￭ Analyze group ratings building consensus and then using the consensus ratings of the group as the ratings for the primary model. ￭ Analyze the results of the decision by evaluating weights, contributions, "winners" at each level, and analyzing the sensitivity of the weights and how it might change the results. ￭ Produce rich text format reports with data and graphics. ￭ Publish the project to the web where individuals can rate the criteria and alternatives and automatically feed the web ratings into the group participant model
