Home Decoration Service Provider Selection Using Analytic Network Process (ANP)

Abstract

Nowadays, everybody is facing many problems with making decisions and future planning of global and regional works all over the world. The analytic network process (ANP) is one of the most widely used multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. The ANP is highly recommended because ANP allows interdependent influences specified in the model. In many real world cases, there is interdependence and feedback among the elements and alternatives. The ANP is a useful tool for prediction and representing a variety of competitors with their surmised interactions and their relative strengths to wield influence in making a decision. Feedback and dependence improve the priorities derived from judgments and make prediction more accurate. The Analytic Network Process (ANP) technique has been developed for service provider selection in home decoration. Without a proper and accurate method for selecting the most appropriate contractor, the performance of the project will be affected. The ANP can lead to real life answers that are matched by actual measurements in the real world.
