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.
