AbstractThis paper presents the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential decision making method for use in project management. The contractor prequalification problem is used as an example. A hierarchical structure is constructed for the prequalification criteria and the contractors wishing to prequalify for a project. By applying the AHP, the prequalification criteria can be prioritized and a descending-order list of contractors can be made in order to select the best contractors to perform the project. A sensitivity analysis can be performed to check the sensitivity of the final decisions to minor changes in judgements. The paper presents group decision-making using the AHP. The AHP implementation steps will be simplified by using the `Expert Choice' professional software that is available commercially and designed for implementing AHP. It is hoped that this will encourage the application of the AHP by project management professionals. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd and IPMA. All rights reserved.
