Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP, är en spridd och mycket omdiskuterad metod för att analysera multikriterieproblem. Syftet med uppsatsen är göra beslutsfattare som använder AHP uppmärksamma på några av de problem som kan finnas med att använda AHP. Uppsatsen redogör detaljerat för hur beslutsfattarens indata behandlas av AHP och visar både med ett konkret exempel och med en formell beskrivning hur en rangordning av alternativ genereras av AHP. Den detaljerade redogörelsen illustrerar att AHP bygger på additiv nyttofunktion vilket döljs för användare av programvaror utvecklade för AHP. Vidare belyses andra drag i AHPs behandling av indata, drag som i flera fall döljs för användaren.

Uma metodologia multicritério de apoio à decisão caracteriza-se pela capacidade de incorporar, no modelo de decisão, critérios quantitativa e qualitativamente mensuráveis. A metodologia AHP baseia-se em dois princípios fundamentais: estruturação e avaliação. Estes princípios auxiliam o decisor na análise e sistematização das informações. No AHP o problema de decisão é analisado através da construção de níveis hierárquicos e a comparação dos níveis aos pares. O trabalho descreve, detalhadamente, toda a teoria relacionada, assim como, o estudo de caso realizado. Procurando mostrar, objetivamente, como a metodologia pode ser utilizada. Na aplicação, utiliza-se o software Expert Choice, onde o AHP está implementado. O software funciona de maneira a estruturar rapidamente o problema de decisão, organizando os dados relacionados ao modelo. O mesmo software é utilizado para realizar análises de sensibilidade, apresentando, ao final, a melhor alternativa de traçado de pavimentação, de um caso específico. É possível que o uso do AHP clarifique e agilize o processo de tomada de decisão de traçado de pavimentação de uma estrada, permitindo que outros critérios, principalmente de caráter ambiental e social, possam ser incorporados na análise.

Full textAbstract:
Many management system engineering ideas and theories have evolved to help businesses grow and achieve their goals. Applying these ideas and theories to a business system is a strategic planning issue and results in a bewildering array of strategic alternatives for business system improvement. Choosing the appropriate alternatives is a complex and difficult decision. The most appropriate strategic alternative must be executable. To be executable the strategic alternative must not only be technically feasible, but must also overcome social and cultural obstructions. This research presents a planning approach to select the most appropriate strategic alternative and to plan its implementation. The planning approach is built on a planning framework synthesized from previous research. This framework involves the following planning functions: 1. Determine business strategic alternatives 2. Acquire business knowledge 3. Shape business for strategic advantage 4. Implement plan - operational engagement The planning approach uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Project Management Tools (PMT) and Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to implement these functions and plan business improvements. This research demonstrates that rational hierarchies appropriate for strategic alternatives analysis using AHP can be constructed. Business scenarios are used to show that AHP method prioritizes alternative strategies differently under different business circumstances. In addition, the data generated by the AHP can be aggregated into statements of work and input into DSM to generate a project plan to implement organizational design changes and achieve strategic intent.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This praxis explores a new approach to the problem of estimating the uncertainty attributable to inconsistent pairwise comparison judgments in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a prominent decision-making methodology used in numerous fields, including systems engineering and engineering management. Based on insights from measurement theory and established error propagation equations, the work develops techniques to estimate the uncertainty of aggregated priorities for decision alternatives based on measures of inconsistency for component pairwise comparison matrices. This research develops two formulations for estimating the error: the first, more computationally intensive and accurate, uses detailed calculations of parameter errors to estimate the aggregated uncertainty, while the second, significantly simpler, uses an estimate of mean relative error (MRE) for each pairwise comparison matrix to estimate the aggregated error. This paper describes the derivation of both formulations for the linear weighted sum method of priority aggregation in AHP and uses Monte Carlo simulation to test their estimation accuracies for diverse problem structures and parameter values. The work focuses on the two most commonly used methods of deriving priority weights in AHP: the eigenvector method (EVM) and the geometric mean method (GMM). However, the approach of estimating the propagation of measurement errors can be readily applied to other hierarchical decision support methodologies that use pairwise comparison matrices. The developed techniques provide analysts the ability to easily assess decision model uncertainties attributable to comparative judgment inconsistencies without recourse to more complex optimization routines or simulation experiments described previously in the professional literature.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
Dentre as várias técnicas de tratamento e disposição dos resíduos sólidos urbanos a disposição em aterros sanitários é a mais usada, devido ao baixo custo e relativa simplicidade operacional. No entanto, a falta de estudos para áreas adequadas é um dos principais fatores limitantes da aplicação desta técnica. É imprescindível o conhecimento dos atributos do meio-físico para avaliar as suas várias interações com o aterro sanitário. Essas interações e a variedade de atributos, dificultam a seleção do local adequado para a instalação do aterro sanitário. Diante disto, há a necessidade de uma metodologia que considere as interações, juntamente com os atributos, e se mostre eficaz na seleção do melhor local para o aterro. Propões-se aqui uma metodologia que considera 14 atributos do meio físico, referentes ao substrato rochoso, materiais inconsolidados, água e feições de relevo. Em vista da variedade de atributos, múltiplas alternativas possíveis e objetivos muitas vezes conflitantes, a serem considerados, foi aplicada a técnica de tomada de decisão denominada processo hierárquico analítico (PHA). O PHA divide um problema complexo em problemas mais simples na forma de uma hierarquia de decisão e, permitiu a obtenção do índice de adequabilidade (I.A.), que representa o valor numérico da adequabilidade de uma determinada áreas para a instalação de aterros sanitários, além de possibilitar a sua hierarquização em relação às áreas adjacentes. Esta metodologia foi aplicada na região de Araraquara, estado de São Paulo, limitada pelo paralelos 21º45\' e 22º00\' sul e meridianos 48º00\' minutos e 48º15\' minutos oeste Gr. O I.A. possibilitou o zoneamento e a classificação de unidades de combinação em favorável, moderada, severa e restritiva para a implantação de um aterro sanitário. A metodologia mostrou-se eficaz e permitiu comparar os 14 atributos de forma numérica, ao introduzir a ) técnica de tomada de decisão através do processo de hierarquia analítica. Desta forma, apresentou as vantagens de diminuir a subjetividade do processo de seleção e ponderar atributos inter-dependentes, direcionados ao objetivo de selecionar áreas para a implantação de um aterro sanitário.<br>Among several techniques for disposition and treatment of urban solid waste, sanitary landfill is the most employed, by their low cost and relative operational simplicity. However, the lack of research for suitable areas is one of the main problems to the application of this technique. It is necessary to know the attributes of the environment to assess their numerous interactions with the environment sanitary landfill. This interactions and the variety of the attributes becomes diffilcut the selection of the most suitable area to the installation of the sanitary landfill. A methodology to be effiecient in the selection of the best site to this facility, must consider the interactions and the attributes of the environment. This paper proposes a methodology which consider 14 attributes of the environment related to the rocky substrate, unconsolidated materials, water and relief. Because the variety of attributes, multiple possible alternatives and competing objectives to be consider was applied a decision support system (D.S.S.) technical named analytic hierachy process (AHP) which divides a complex problem in simpler ones in the form of a decision hierarchy. The use of AHP reaches the numerical suitability index (SI), of the areas to the installation of a sanitary landfill and becomes possible to hierarchy these areas. This methodology was applied in an area located in the Araraquara region, São Paulo state, limited by the parallels 21º45\' and 22º15\' south and meridians 48º00\' and 48º15\' West gr. The use of the suitability index (SI) permitted the zoning and ranking of the sub-areas and their classification in favorable, moderate, severe and restrictive to the installation of a sanitary landfill. The methodology to compare the 14 attributes in a numerical way by the use of the making decision technique applied to the AHP. By this way had the advantage of less subjectivity of the process of area selection and to weigh inter-dependents attributes, addressed to the objective of to select sites to the sanitary landfill.

<p>There are a number of decision making problems in which Geographical Information System (GIS) has employed to organize and facilitate the procedure of analyzing the problem. These GIS-based decision problems which typically include a number of different criteria and alternatives are generally analyzed by Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).Different locations within a geographical area represent the alternatives by which the overall goal of the project is achieved. The quality of achieving the goal is evaluated by a set of criteria which should be considered in the work. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a powerful method of MCDA generally can organize spatial problems and decides which alternatives are most suitable for the defined problems. However due to some intrinsic uncertainty in the method, a number of authors suggest fuzzifying the method while others are against fuzzification of the AHP.</p><p>The debate over fuzzifying AHP is going on and attempt for finding that was mostly in theory, and little, if any; practical comparison between the AHP and fuzzified AHP has done. This work presents a practical comparison of AHP and fuzzy AHP in a GIS-based problem, case study, for locating a dam in Costa Rica, considering different criteria. In order to perform the AHP and fuzzy AHP in the GIS-based problem and calculating weights of the criteria by the methods, some computer codes have written and developed in MATLAB.</p><p>The comparisons between the AHP and fuzzy AHP methods are done on result weights and on the result final maps.

Sometimes the decisions to be made are complex and we need to evaluate many criterions that can involve several factors. In those cases, it is not easy to have a good overview of all choices and for this reason it is important to have a system that helps us in making complex decisions, when it is not possible to evaluate all the alternatives manually. This thesis describes different algorithms and tools that can aid in the process of making decisions. Based on the review of existing tools a new web based application is proposed.

Previous issue date: 2010<br>Resumo: As últimas 30 décadas foram marcadas por uma intensiva produção avícola, onde se alcançou um nível satisfatório de produção com a utilização de tecnologia. Estes fatos permitiram que o país se destacasse dentro de um cenário global, tornando o país o maior exportador e o terceiro maior produtor de carne de frango do mundo. Atualmente os projetos relacionados a equipamentos rurais desenvolvidos no Brasil têm sido objeto de estudo unicamente por engenheiros e técnicos, mas que poderão ser otimizados com a participação dos Designers. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar de três tipos de comedouros para frangos de corte sob o ponto de vista de manejo e preferência das aves, analisando as atividades comportamentais e tempo de duração das refeições das aves, além de estimar a eficiência dos equipamentos. Os comedouros avaliados foram: Tubular e Automático, ambos comercializados atualmente, e o comedouro Fênix, equipamento manual proposto por um Designer que ainda encontra-se em fase de testes. O estudo foi conduzido em um galpão comercial de frangos de corte que alojava 14 mil aves, com densidade de 16 aves m-2 aos 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 e 24 dias de idade. Utilizou-se vídeo-filmagem para o registro dos comportamentos e, a partir destas análises e de conhecimentos gerais sobre o tema, foi procedida uma avaliação, através do método AHP (Analitic Hierarchy Process), para se estimar a eficiência de cada comedouro de acordo com três tipos distintos de consumidores: C1 (produtor de pequeno porte), C2 (produtor de grande porte) e C3 (pesquisador). Os resultados apontam uma preferência das aves pelo comedouro Tubular, no qual o comportamento "comendo" e o tempo de refeição foram maiores, sendo este o único que não dispunha de uma divisória sobre o prato de alimentação, fato que pode ter sido determinante na preferência das aves. O comedouro Fênix indicou ser mais adequado ao consumidor C1 e o Automático para os consumidores C2 e C3. O Tubular ficou na terceira colocação para os três consumidores, mesmo sendo o preferido pelas aves. O comedouro Fênix apresentou características compatíveis com os concorrentes, sendo mais eficiente que o Tubular, indicando, após alguns ajustes, a possibilidade de ser fabricado<br>Abstract: The last 30 decades were marked by an intensive poultry production, which reached a satisfactory level of production with the use of technology. These facts have allowed the country to stand out in a global setting, making the country the largest exporter and third largest producer of chicken meat in the world. Currently, projects related to rural equipment developed in Brazil have been studied only by Engineers and technicians, but could be optimized with the participation of Designers. This study aimed to compare three types of feeder for broiler chickens under the standpoint of management and preference of birds, examining the behavioral and duration of birds' meals, and estimate the efficiency of the equipments. The evaluated feeders were: Tubular and Automatic, both currently marketed, and Fênix feeder, manual equipment proposed by a designer who is still undergoing tests. The study was conducted in a shed broiler commercial house that housed 14 thousand birds at a density of 16 birds m-2 at 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 and 24 days old. We used video footage to record the behavior and, based on these results and general knowledge on the subject, an assessment was preceded by the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), to estimate the efficiency of each feeder in accordance with three distinct types of consumers: C1 (small producer), C2 (large producer) and C3 (researcher). The results indicate a bird's preference to the Tubular feeder, in which the behavior of "eating" and the time of meal were higher, and this is the only one that did not have a partition grid on the food plate, which may have been determinant to the birds' preference. The Fênix feeder indicated that it was more appropriate to the consumer C1 and Automatic for consumers C2 and C3. The Tubular came in third place for the three consumers, even as the favorite for birds. The Fênix feeder presented compatible characteristics with competitors, been more efficient than the Tubular indicating, after some adjustments the ability to be manufactured<br>Mestrado<br>Construções Rurais e Ambiencia<br>Mestre em Engenharia Agrícola

The analysis of investment in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) is a process of strategic decision, due to the competitive potential that these technologies represent when they provide the companies with a range of tangible and intangible benefits. However, given the complexity of the related variables, the risk and the high cost of the investment; the methods of financial evaluation, used traditionally, are insufficient to capture the innumerous strategic benefits provided by such
technologies, which leads, in some cases, to incoherent results and the
abandonment of the investment. Herewith, this work presents a model of multicriterial decision to justify the investments in manufacturing technologies. The implementation of the model was accomplished using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method, aiming at considering, together, the tangible and intangible aspects associated with this type of investment. The AHP method was applied through a case study in a supply company of the automobile trade. A framework was proposed
for the conduction and diagnosis of the productive scenery in order to investigate the adequacy of a determined AMT to the manufacturing strategy of the company, relating the existent resources and industrial capacities and the requirements of the market. The result of the research proves the generality and the potential of the model as a decision making tool for the process of justifying the investments in manufacturing technologies. The demonstration of the method's applicability contributes academically and professionally to the ones interested in the matter.<br>A análise de investimentos em Tecnologias Avançadas de Manufatura (AMT) é um processo de decisão estratégico, devido ao potencial competitivo que essas tecnologias representam ao proporcionar às empresas uma gama de benefícios tangíveis e intangíveis.

Full textAbstract:
O marco regulatório do saneamento básico no Brasil estabelece de forma clara as diretrizes que deverão ser seguidas pelos prestadores destes serviços de água e esgoto, porém quando a Constituição Federal delega aos municípios a titularidade destes serviços impõe aos decisores locais a atribuição escolha do modelo de gestão a ser adotado. As características próprias de cada município e região junto a necessidade da ponderação de atributos técnicos, econômicos e sociais de cada opção de modelo de gestão conferem elevada complexidade ao processo de decisão de qual o melhor modelo de gestão para cada município, constituindo em tema contemporâneo de estudos e de intensos debates pela população. Em função dessa complexidade, os métodos multicritérios de apoio à decisão se apresentam como ferramentas de auxílio aos tomadores de decisão tanto na estruturação destes problemas com objetivos conflitantes como também de suporte na priorização dos principais critérios envolvidos neste processo. Este estudo buscou estruturar processo de tomada de decisão sobre a escolha de modelo de gestão de serviços de água e esgoto com a priorização de critérios por meio do processo de hierarquia analítica (AHP). A partir das informações obtidas do SNIS-Sistema Nacional de Informações sobre Saneamento, nove critérios foram estabelecidos e enviados à nove especialistas para validação da seleção e priorização. Os resultados apontaram nítida priorização de critérios técnicos e operacionais, seguidos dos associados a regulação e controle social e, menos prioritários, os critérios econômicos e financeiros.<br>The regulatory framework of basic sanitation in Brazil, establishes very clearly the guidelines that must be followed by these service providers of water and sewage, but when the Federal Constitution delegates to the municipalities the title transfer of these services, it imposes to the local decision makers the choice of management model to be adopted. Each municipality and region own characteristics, with the necessity of weighting of technical, economic and social attributions of each option of management model confers high complexity to the decision process of which management model is best for each municipality, composing a contemporary theme for studies and intense debating by the population. Because of this complexity, the multi-criteria methods of support to the decision serve as helping tools to the decision makers not only in the structuration of these problems with confliction objects but also as support in the prioritizing of the main criteria involved in this process. This study tried to structure the process of decision making about the choice of management model for services of water and sewage with the prioritizing of criteria through the Analytic Hierarchy Process. (AHP). From the information obtained by the SNIS (Sanitation Information National System), nine criteria were established and sent to nine experts for validation of the selection and prioritizing. The results show a clear prioritizing of technical and operational criteria, followed by those associated to the regulation and social control, and, less prioritized, the financial and economic criteria.

A competitividade de uma organização e, consequentemente, sua prosperidade perante concorridos mercados, depende muito da capacidade de inovação e aprimoramento de seus produtos/serviços e processos. A procura por melhores padrões de manufatura e serviços prestados aos clientes, além das aplicações de novas técnicas gerenciais, de melhoria contínua, de otimização e de tomada de decisão, têm atraído a atenção das organizações. O esforço criativo humano deve propor abordagens de caráter competitivo, combinando ferramentas e técnicas, conhecidas ou não, a fim de melhorarem seus desempenhos. Assim, o objetivo desta tese foi propor uma estrutura analítica integrando de forma sequencial o processo de melhoria contínua DMAIC e o método de análise multicriterial para tomada de decisão Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), com vistas às aplicações em operações de distribuição física de bebidas. Em um primeiro momento, por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, foi proposta uma estrutura geral, denominada Estrutura Analítica DMAIC/AHP, envolvendo as teorias supracitadas. Além disso, com o auxílio de um estudo de caso, foi proposta uma estrutura detalhada para a tentativa de melhoria da operação de distribuição física de bebidas em uma empresa na cidade de Ribeirão Preto. O foco esteve também na oportunidade de se obter maior conhecimento do processo em estudo e melhorar o embasamento para a tomada de decisão. A aplicação da estrutura analítica foi dividida em três fases: fase 1 - definições para o projeto de melhoria; fase 2 - condução do processo de melhoria em si; e fase 3 (denominada metafase) - responsável por monitorar/acompanhar as atividades do projeto. A aplicação em um caso real permitiu a proposta de atividades e ferramentas para entendimento e aperfeiçoamento do processo; além de alternativas de decisão frente aos problemas encontrados; deu embasamento para a tomada de decisão no momento de se implementarem as melhorias e apresentou instrumentos para manutenção e controle das alterações propostas no projeto. Um ganho evidente com a junção das teorias foi que houve um auxílio mútuo entre elas. Dessa forma, o processo de melhoria contínua DMAIC, por meio de suas etapas minuciosas de conhecimentos de processos e de causas de problemas, pôde embasar de forma robusta a definição do modelo hierárquico do AHP, desde o objetivo geral a ser atingido, passando pelos critérios de decisão, até se chegar às alternativas de decisão propostas para o processo em estudo. Por outro lado, como o DMAIC não apresenta um método de tomada de decisão atraente, o AHP pôde auxiliar na tomada de decisão multicriterial de forma mais organizada, consistente e assertiva.<br>The competitiveness of an organization and consequently its prosperity before competitive markets, depends widely on the capacity for innovation and improvement of its products/services and processes. The pursuit for better manufacturing standards and services provided to customers, in addition to the applications of new management techniques, continuous improvement, optimization and decision-making, have attracted attention of organizations. The human creative effort should propose approaches of competitive basis, combining tools and techniques, known or not, in order to improve their performance. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to propose an analytical structure integrating sequentially the process of continuous improvement DMAIC of Six Sigma and the multi-criteria analysis method for decision making Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), in order to apply in real cases in beverage industries. At first, through a literature search, it was proposed a general structure, called Analytical Structure DMAIC/AHP, involving the above theories. In addition, with a case study aid, it was proposed a detailed structure attempting to improve the operation of physical distribution for beverages in a company in the city of Ribeirão Preto. The focus was also on the opportunity to gain greater knowledge of the process under study and improve the foundation for decision making. The application of analytical structure was divided into three phases: phase 1 - definitions for the improvement project; phase 2 - implementation of the improvement process itself; and phase 3 (called metaphase) - responsible for monitoring/following the activities of the project. The application in a real case allowed the proposal of activities and tools for the understanding and improvement of the process, as well as possibilities for more alternatives to problems encountered; provided foundation for decision making at the time of implementing the improvements and presented tools for maintenance and control of changes proposed in the project. An obvious gain from the junction of the theories was that there was a mutual aid between them. Thus, the process of continuous improvement DMAIC, through its detailed stages of knowledge of processes and causes of problems could robustly base the definition of the hierarchical model of AHP, since the overall objective to be attained, passing through the decision criteria, until they get to the alternatives of decisions proposed for the process under study. On the other hand, as the DMAIC does not present an attractive method of decision-making, AHP could assist in multi-criteria decision making more organized, consistent and assertive.

The Business Planning Process (BPP), in the context of technology-based firms (TBF), is complex and dynamic. Aims to transform the results of research into a new technology-based firm and guides the search for important information, able to subsidize the creation of these ventures, helping the entrepreneurial team, usually composed of technology entrepreneurs and professional managers to develop business and structure their logistics strategies, financial, organizational, marketing and production. During the unfolding of the activities that make up the BPP, detects the need to define the business model for these start-ups. Therefore, it is attributed to the entrepreneurial team responsibility for this definition. The business model in this case is guided by the decision both on the market positioning as on the definition of the structure of the value chain, and these two decisions simultaneous and interactive. The market positioning refers to choices about the target audience and the differentials of the business, including the structuring of the marketing mix, especially the definition of the product being sold and marketing channels to be explored. The structure of the value chain is guided by the decision to outsource or internalize (make-or-buy decision) given activity. Despite the importance of defining the business model in the case of TBF, few studies are conducted in the country for this purpose. Given the above, the objective of this research is to propose a process to aid decision making, using the method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for defining the business model in TBF. The AHP enables to develop a model of the type multicriteria decision. The research, conducted by the methodological strategy of action research and survey, sought to identify the criteria that guide the choices necessary to market positioning and structuring of the value chain of TBFs. As a result, it has been the definition of a process to aid decision making that guides the definition of the business model based on the specific needs of each EBT, consists of six steps: a) analysis of market players, b) identifying positioning opportunities c) prioritization of positioning market with the help of AHP d) mapping of the primary activities relating to this position, e) analysis and identification of dubious activities in relation to the make-or-buy decision and f) application of AHP for this decision. This study sought to provide a theoretical contribution to the fields of knowledge of marketing and operations, to empirically validate a model that considers various relevant criteria for decision-making, in order to guide the development of the business over BPP. Expected to contribute to the Brazilian research centers are able to adequately fulfill this which is one of its most important social functions: to promote the development and business generation technology for the development of society.<br>O Processo de Planejamento do Negócio (PPNeg), no contexto de Empresas de Base Tecnológica (EBT), é complexo e dinâmico. Visa transformar os resultados de uma pesquisa em um novo empreendimento de base tecnológica e orienta a busca por informações importantes, capazes de subsidiar a criação dessas EBTs, auxiliando a equipe empreendedora, geralmente, composta por empreendedores tecnológicos e gestores profissionais, a desenvolver o negócio e a estruturar suas estratégias logísticas, financeiras, organizacionais, de marketing e de produção. Durante o desdobramento das atividades que compõem o PPNeg, detecta-se a necessidade de definir o modelo de negócio para essas empresas nascentes. Para tanto, atribui-se à equipe empreendedora a responsabilidade por essa definição. O modelo de negócio, neste caso, vem orientado pela decisão tanto sobre o posicionamento mercadológico quanto sobre a definição da estrutura da cadeia de valor, sendo estas duas decisões simultâneas e interativas. O posicionamento mercadológico refere-se às escolhas quanto ao público-alvo e aos diferenciais do negócio, incluindo a estruturação do mix de marketing, com destaque para a definição do produto a ser vendido e dos canais de marketing a serem explorados. A estruturação da cadeia de valor é orientada pela decisão de terceirizar ou de internalizar (make-or-buy decision) determinada atividade. Não obstante a importância de se definir o modelo de negócio no caso das EBTs, poucos estudos são desenvolvidos no País com esta finalidade. Diante do exposto, o objetivo desta pesquisa consiste em propor um processo de auxílio à tomada de decisão, utilizando o método Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), para a definição do modelo de negócio em EBTs. O AHP possibilita desenvolver um modelo de decisão do tipo multicritério. A pesquisa, realizada por meio da estratégia metodológica de pesquisa-ação e survey, buscou identificar os critérios capazes de orientar as escolhas necessárias ao posicionamento mercadológico e à estruturação da cadeia de valor das EBTs. Como resultado, tem-se a definição de um processo de auxílio à tomada de decisão que orienta a definição do modelo de negócio com base nas necessidades específicas de cada EBT, composto por seis steps: a) análise dos players do mercado; b) identificação das possibilidades de posicionamento; c) priorização do posicionamento mercadológico com o auxílio do AHP; d) mapeamento das atividades primárias referentes a esse posicionamento; e) análise e identificação das atividades dúbias em relação à decisão de terceirizar ou de internalizar; e f) aplicação do método AHP como auxílio à decisão (make-or-buy decision). Este estudo buscou oferecer uma contribuição teórica aos campos de conhecimento do marketing e de operações, ao validar empiricamente um modelo que considera diferentes e relevantes critérios para a tomada de decisão, com o intuito de orientar o desenvolvimento do negócio ao longo do PPNeg. Espera-se contribuir para que os centros de pesquisa brasileiros estejam aptos a cumprir adequadamente esta que é uma de suas funções sociais mais relevantes: promover o desenvolvimento e a geração de negócios tecnológicos em prol do desenvolvimento da sociedade.

Strategic management of wildlands for fire is increasingly a mix of traditional firescience, climatology and human perceptions. Not only must managers be expert atmodeling fuels and fire behavior, they must also understand human behavior, and theeffects of climate on landscapes. We hypothiszed that areas in national forests differspatially in their importance to stakeholders, including both the public and landmanagers. That this difference is based upon the inclusion of factors not typically foundin wildland fire models. To test this hypothesis we used a multidimensional approach toassess the spatial variability several factors including recreation, property values and fuelmoisture. This approach combined a geographic information system with the analytichierarchy process to predict and test the current distribution of areas in national forestsimportant to stakeholders.Inclusion of stakeholders appears to improve the validity and useability of aspatial decision support system. Comparing the model created in this dissertation withseveral others demonstrates that it is important to strike the right balance betweenstakeholders and technical experts when designing and creating a model. It is alwaysbeneficial, however, to a significant level of stakeholder involvement.Areas important for fire mitigation efforts depended on the stakeholder oraudience rating the model. Raters from the U.S. Forest Service tended to favor areas withhigh fire probability scores, while those from the Park Service prefered recreation areasand places people value. In both cases, locations people had easy access to, such as alongroads and trails were favored.These results confirmed the hypothesis that areas of importance are differentbased on the individual rating the model. Further testing and refinement of the modelincludes expanding the study area beyond the southwestern United States as wells asobtaining better sources of data with finer spatial resolutions.

Previous issue date: 2018-09-06<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Brazilian agribusiness is a sector of the economy that has historically demonstrated strength and growth, with emphasis on the agricultural sector that has been presenting production volumes and increasing productivity rates. Despite this, the exceptional competitiveness of Brazilian primary production is gradually diluted as its products leave the rural property to the subsequent links of the productive chains. The logistical obstacles faced by the national agribusiness to transport its wealth are notable, with problems such as the imbalance of the freight transport matrix, depleted transport infrastructure, insufficient static storage capacity and "bottlenecks" in the best known ports. However, little is known about another fundamental component for the logistic efficiency of agribusiness: rural roads. From the moment that the agricultural and livestock production leaves the rural property, the rural road network is the first element with potential of impact to the competitiveness of agribusiness, and few researches were undertaken with this theme. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate and describe the criteria that make a rural road suitable for the transport of inputs and agricultural production. The research was geographically delimited to the municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon, located in the western mesoregion of the state of Paraná, because this municipality presents its economic base based on agribusiness. The methodology used was the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), since it is able to measure mathematically subjective and objective attributes in a joint way, through comparisons made by individuals with knowledge of the subject matter. The methodological procedures were bibliographic research and non-systematized field survey for initial exploratory analysis, in addition to a survey to deepen the research. A total of 97 interviews were carried out with the application of a form with drivers who transport loads in the rural road network of the municipality. From the initial exploratory survey, 20 criteria potentially relevant to the adequacy of a rural road were related, and the results of the survey indicated a set of 7 priority criteria: integrity and conservation status under satisfactory conditions; track with surface coating that provides better conditions of support and trafficability, mainly asphalt paving; runway with low slope of cross section; full track without deformation; runway without loose / disaggregated materials; platform with adequate surface drainage and low intensity (volume) of traffic. It is concluded, therefore, that these are the attributes of rural roads of greater essentiality for the accomplishment of agribusiness cargo transport activities.<br>O agronegócio brasileiro é um setor da economia que historicamente tem demonstrado pujança e crescimento, com destaque para a agropecuária que vem apresentando volumes de produção e taxas de produtividade cada vez mais expressivos. Apesar disso, a excepcional competitividade da produção primária brasileira dilui-se gradualmente conforme seus produtos saem da propriedade rural com destino aos elos subsequentes das cadeias produtivas. São notáveis os obstáculos logísticos enfrentados pelo agronegócio nacional para transportar suas riquezas, sendo os problemas como o desbalanceamento da matriz de transporte de cargas, infraestrutura de transportes defasada, capacidade estática de armazenagem insuficiente e “gargalos” nos portos, os mais conhecidos. No entanto, pouco sabe-se a respeito de outro componente fundamental para a eficiência logística do agronegócio: as estradas rurais. A partir do momento que a produção agrícola e pecuária sai da propriedade rural, a malha viária rural constitui-se no primeiro elemento com potencial de impacto à competitividade do agronegócio, e poucas pesquisas foram empreendidas com essa temática. Assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar e descrever os critérios que tornam uma estrada rural adequada ao transporte de insumos e da produção agropecuária. A pesquisa foi geograficamente delimitada ao município de Marechal Cândido Rondon, localizado na mesorregião oeste do estado do Paraná, em razão deste município apresentar sua base econômica pautada no agronegócio. A metodologia utilizada foi o Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), pois a mesma consegue mensurar matematicamente atributos subjetivos e objetivos de maneira conjunta, por meio de comparações paritárias julgadas por indivíduos com conhecimento da temática investigada. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram pesquisa bibliográfica e levantamento de campo não sistematizado para análise exploratória inicial, além de survey para o aprofundamento da investigação. Foram realizadas 97 entrevistas com aplicação de formulário junto a motoristas que transportam cargas na malha viária rural do município. A partir do levantamento exploratório inicial, foram relacionados 20 critérios potencialmente relevantes à adequação de uma estrada rural, sendo que os resultados do survey apontaram um conjunto de 7 critérios prioritários: integridade e estado de conservação em condições satisfatórias; pista de rolamento com revestimento superficial que proporcione melhores condições de suporte e trafegabilidade, principalmente pavimentação asfáltica; pista de rolamento com pouca inclinação da seção transversal; pista de rolamento íntegra e sem deformações; pista de rolamento sem materiais soltos/desagregados; plataforma com drenagem superficial adequada e baixa intensidade (volume) de tráfego. Conclui-se portanto, que estes são os atributos das estradas rurais de maior essencialidade para a consecução das atividades de transporte de cargas do agronegócio.

Full textAbstract:
The location of logistics hubs is one of the most crucial success factors for potential economic growth in logistics sector. Since the logistics hub has direct and indirect impacts on different stakeholders including investors, policy makers, infrastructure providers, hub operators, hub users and the community itself, it needs to be considered carefully. Therefore, logistics hubs should be located in such a way that it can provide a better accessibility to three different modes of transportation- road, rail and waterways. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential locations for logistics hubs and to find out the criteria that affect for the selection of location for logistics hubs. A comprehensive literature study reveals the factors that are affecting the selection of location for logistics hubs and the methods to evaluate those locations considering the criteria. Location selection or evaluation is a typical multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem in which performance criteria plays a vital role for the final decision making. Both qualitative and quantitative MCDM methods are applied in this study, where the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is qualitative and the gravity method is quantitative method. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a structured approach to reach the final decision which is one of the best methods of all MCDM problems, used in recent literature to evaluate the location selection problems. A case study is done for the logistics company, Brinova Fastigheter AB in Sweden. This study is followed by AHP method which is considered with selected factors, i.e. highway accessibility, intermodal capacity, port capacity and land availability. Moreover, this study is conducted by evaluating the four major potential locations in Sweden i.e. Stockholm, Göteborg, Helsingborg and Karlshamn for selecting as a logistics hub. Besides, the location for selecting logistics hubs is evaluated by the gravity method, which is a quantitative method to determine the level of accessibility for the selected locations, considering the flow of goods both inbound and outbound and the transport cost between the locations. The result from the AHP method recommend that Göteborg is the best potential location to establish logistic hub whereas the Gravity model represents that Stockholm has the highest level of accessibility for logistics activity. Therefore the study suggested that both Göteborg and Stockholm are considered to be the best potential locations considering in present situation

Logistics outsourcing has been applied in practices by enterprises for decades, but its efficiency is always restricted because logistics service providers (LSPs) often only have a single function such as delivery or warehousing. In the last few years, LSPs have upgraded their capabilities to support some other logistics services including value-added services, materials management, information-related services etc. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the differences between self-built logistics system and outsourcing logistics system by using the Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (SWOT) strategic analysis; and figure out how to apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to make an appropriate selection among LSPs that based on the single-case study of Gevalia. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used in this study, authors expect to describe and explore the application of AHP approach regarding to the case company which implements outsourcing logistics system. Accordingly, it could be a good idea for case company to implement the mixed mode of self-built and outsourcing logistics system after using the SWOT strategic analysis. In addition, the production and logistics manager of case company emphasized that the five selection criteria including “compatibility”, “delivery performance”, “location”, “management” and “cost” should be considered as a priority among other different criterion when he selected a LSP. As a result, it will be efficient and effective for us to simulate a best decision for those industrial manufacturing enterprises to achieve a path regarding to the selection of the best logistics partner that based on the significant AHP approach.

The German government is experiencing difficulties housing and assimilating Syrian refugees in its borders. Erecting temporary shelters on location is one way to deal with the current crises. This thesis attempts to use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the optimum combination of materials and construction methods to be used in the shelter’s walls in order to improve the living conditions of the refugees and to ensure that the cost is acceptable to the German government. This thesis compares six existing wall panel products from China, which have the lowest cost on the worldwide market. The R-value, strength, price, weight, durability, ease of assembly, assembly time, maintenance costs, comfort, resale value, and appearance were evaluated. Assumptions were made on what the German government would require and on standard building practices in Europe and America. The analysis indicates that the steel frame house from YONGYANG Steel best satisfies the needs in this situation. This thesis produced an AHP template, which is flexible. This model that was developed for the German scenario can be effectively applied to differing emergent situations in other parts of the world.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays the mitigation of climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gases are one of the priorities in the international affairs. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the products generated according to this request. For China, CDM brings advanced technologies in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, and driving forces for sustainable development, hereby the development of CDM projects is in full swing in China so far. However, it is not easy to decide which type of CDM projects is suitable for a certain city or region, which project contributes more to sustainable development compared with others, when it comes to several alternatives. In this case, decision-makers require a tool to help make a rational decision. As one of the approaches of assisting in making decisions, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is able to provide assistance for decision-makers to compare the contribution of discrepant CDM projects to sustainable development. Moreover, a case study is taken between two typical CDM projects: HFC23 decomposition project and small-scale hydropower project, so as to check if AHP is useable. The result of the case study indicates that HFC23 decomposition project contributes more than small-scale hydropower plant project to sustainable development, which is not in line with China’s CDM development trend for these two projects (NCCCC, 2005), due to the different represented interests of the study group and the real decision-makers. Nevertheless, the result is rational and valid since there is nothing wrong with the AHP method and its application. In addition, in order to improve the effect of assisting in decision making, AHP was tried to be improved in three respects: impairing subjectiveness, avoiding rank reversal and improving accuracy. Even though for AHP itself, DEA/AHP approach could successfully eliminate the subjectiveness, however when it comes to this very case: compare CDM projects in terms of contribution to sustainable development in China, it cannot play an effective role. Moreover, PCA/AHP method cannot eliminate the subjectiveness at the root either. The framework method provides a possibility in theory to increase objectiveness. Two expects provided a feasible way to avoid rank reversal in their article, and the two pathways of improving results accuracy mentioned in this thesis are considered inappropriate in this case. On the other side, concerning AHP application, how to covert realistic issues to AHP structure, how to get desirable initial information, and how to avoid limitation generated by considerable criteria, sub-criteria and alternatives are considered as the difficulties which should be paid attention. In future, AHP could be applied frequently and effectively concerning providing assistance in making decisions in China, if the stakeholders as many as possible are involved in decision-making process.

Previous issue date: 2008-10-27<br>The objective of this dissertation is to propose a Multi Criteria Decision Aid Model to be used by the costumers of the travel agencies and help them to choose the best package travel. The main objective is to contribute for the simplification of the travel package decision choice from the identification of the models of values and preference of the customers and applying them to the existing package. It is used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to structuralize a decision hierarchic model composed by six criteria (package cost, hotel category, security of the city, travel time, direct flight and
position in ranking of the 10 most visited destination) and five real alternatives of packages for a holiday of three days created from travel agency data. The decision analysis was
realized for the choice of a travel package by a group composed by two couples that regularly travels together, to which was asked to do a pairwise judgment of the criteria and
the alternatives. The mains results show that, although been a group that travels together, there are different models of values in the weights of the criteria and a certain convergence
in the scales of preferences of the alternatives in the criteria. It was not pointed a dominant alternative for all the members of the group separately, but an analysis of a total utility of
the group shows a classification and an order of the travel packages and an alternative clearly in front of the others. The sensitivity analysis revels that there are changes in the
ranking, but the two alternatives best classified in the normal analysis are the same ones in the sensitivity analysis, although with the positions changed. The analysis also led to a
simplification of the process with the exclusion of alternatives dominated for the others ones. As main conclusion, it is evaluated that the model and method suggested allow a
simplification of the decision process in the choice of travel packages<br>O objetivo deste trabalho ? realizar uma modelagem de an?lise de decis?o multicriterial para apoio na decis?o para escolha de pacote de viagem por clientes das ag?ncias de turismos.

Previous issue date: 2012<br>Resumo: Atualmente o Sensoriamento Remoto tem avançado a sua utilização em diversos segmentos da sociedade acadêmica e empresarial, assim como, das iniciativas públicas e privadas, haja vista a quantidades de satélites já em órbita e os lançamentos contínuos dos mais diversos tipos de sensores remotos. Diversas nações têm como objetivo a independência geoespacial, seja por questões de segurança nacional ou estratégias de política de desenvolvimento econômico, razão pelo qual os vultosos valores investidos em inovação e tecnologias geoespaciais. Neste sentido, podemos citar inúmeras aplicações do sensoriamento remoto, como subsídio ao planejamento de políticas públicas de uso e ocupação terrestre, fiscalização governamental de fronteiras, planejamento ambiental, mapeamentos e análises de cobertura, análise da dinâmica espaço-temporal de uso e ocupação de solos, de florestas, de agricultura, dentre os mais diversos. Em relação às questões das aplicações do sensoriamento remoto na agricultura, vale ressaltar a importância do segmento sucroenergético nacional como fonte de diversas riquezas, como a produção de açúcar, etanol, bioeletricidade e derivados, e ainda contribuindo com uma matriz energética renovável. Desta forma, o presente trabalho tem a finalidade de hierarquizar as aplicações do Sensoriamento Remoto no setor sucroenergético, assim como, avaliar as restrições de utilização das geotecnologias no segmento. Para efeito didático da pesquisa, assim como, para o diagnóstico mercadológico foi classificado nesta pesquisa três grandes e principais grupos de a utilização das geotecnologias, sendo, aplicações em na gestão agronômica dos fatores de produção, aplicações nas ambientais e, no suporte à gestão dos negócios. No grupo de análise de restrições foram elencados três principais fatores atuais de restrição de utilização: conhecimento de sensoriamento remoto, custos das tecnologias de sensoriamento remoto e a disponibilidade de recursos humanos para o setor sucroenergético. O presente trabalho foi realizado com uma pesquisa de opinião com especialistas junto aos principais "players" do segmento sucroenergético, nas áreas de produção das regiões Centro-sul. A representatividade da pesquisa considerando a safra 2012/2013, foi de aproximadamente 35% da produção total, que tem como previsão 448 milhões de toneladas (Conab, 2012). Como ferramenta de análise e suporte às informações provenientes das pesquisas de opinião, foi utilizado o método multicritério AHP - Analytic Hierarchy Process. Os resultados apresentados nesta pesquisa hierarquizam como principais aplicações do sensoriamento remoto: Aplicações Agrícolas, Meio Ambiente e Gestão de Negócios; e como principais restrições: Conhecimento da Tecnologia do sensoriamento remoto, Disponibilidade de Recursos Humanos e Custos das Tecnologias do Sensoriamento Remoto. Com estes resultados, foi possível elencar e adequar os esforços acadêmicos e comerciais para subsidiar o aumento de utilização das geotecnologias, assim como, diagnosticar suas restrições, para aperfeiçoar e estimular alternativas de uso e aplicação<br>Abstract: Currently, remote sensing has advanced its use in various segments of the academic society and business, as well as, the public and private initiatives, given the amounts of satellites already in orbit and the ongoing launches of several types of remote sensors. Several nations have the goal of geospatial independence, either by national security issues or strategies of economic development policy, which is why the huge amounts invested in innovation and geospatial technologies. In this sense, we can cite numerous applications of remote sensing, as planning policies for land use and occupation, government oversight of borders, environmental planning, mapping and analysis of land use, analysis of the spatial-temporal dynamics of soil use and land use, forests, agriculture, among many others. Regarding the questions of applications of remote sensing in agriculture, is worth emphasizing the importance of national energy sector sugar as a source of various wealth, as the production of sugar, ethanol, bioelectricity and sub products, and also contributing to a renewable energy matrix. Thus, this study aims to identify and prioritize the main applications of Remote Sensing in the sugar energy sector, as well as, assess the constraints to increase use of geotechnologies. For didactic purposes of this research, as well as, marketing for the diagnosis was classified in this study three main groups of geotechnologies uses, applications in the management of agronomic factors of production, environmental applications, and support of business management. In the group analysis of constraints were listed three major factors restricting current use, such as remote sensing knowledge and costs of remote sensing technologies, as well as, the availability of Human Resources for the energy sector sugar. This work was carried out with a survey with experts with the major players in the segment of sugar energy in the Mid-South production areas. The representativeness of the survey considering 2012/2013 was approximately 35% of total production, which is forecasting 448 million tons (Conab, the first survey - April 2012). As a tool of analysis and supporting information from polls was used multicriteria method AHP - Analytic Hierarchy Process. The results presented in this research prioritize the main applications of remote sensing as Applications for Agriculture, Environment and Business Management, and as major constraints are: Knowledge of Remote Sensing Technology, Human Resource Availability and Costs of Remote Sensing Technologies. With these results, it was possible to list and tailor academic and commercial efforts in order to support geotechnologies use, as well as, diagnosing its constraints, to improve and encourage alternatives for use and application<br>Mestrado<br>Planejamento e Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável<br>Mestre em Engenharia Agrícola

Full textAbstract:
GWAS mainly aim to identify variations associated with certain phenotypes or diseases. Recently the combined p-value approach is described as the next step after GWAS to map the significant SNPs to genes and pathways to evaluate SNP-gene-disease associations. Major bottleneck of standard GWAS approaches is the prioritization of statistically significant results. The connection between statistical analysis and biological relevance should be established to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of diseases. There are few tools offered for SNP prioritization but these are mainly based on user-defined subjective parameters, which are hard to standardize. Our group has recently developed a novel AHP based SNP prioritization algorithm. Beside statistical association AHP based SNP prioritization algorithm scores SNPs according to their biological relevance in terms of genomic location, functional consequence, evolutionary conservation, and gene-disease association. This allows researchers to evaluate the significantly associated SNPs quickly and objectively. Here, we have investigated the performance of the AHP based prioritization as the next step in the utilization of the algorithm in comparison to the other available tools for SNP prioritization. The user-defined parameters for AHP based prioritization have been investigated and our suggestion on how to use these parameters are presented. Additionally, the GWAS results from the analysis of two different sets of Alzheimer Disease Genotyping data with the newly proposed AHP based prioritization and the integrated software, METU-SNP, it was implemented, is reported and our new findings on the association of SNPs and genes with AD based on this analysis is discussed.

Fire plays an important role in forest ecosystem management depending on the dual character of it. It should be managed and supervised effectively. In this particular study, the study area was located in the north part of Gävleborg County in Sweden, which is in a high- latitude region. Seven factors, divided into natural factors and human caused factors, were extracted from digital elevation model (DEM), classified land use map and feature shape files provided by National Land Survey of Sweden (Lantmäteriet). Two different weighting schemes for the factors were determined by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. With the help of ArcGIS 9.3 and Erdas 9.3, two classified result maps were obtained, where forest fire risk ranks were shown as five classes, very low, low, moderate, high and very high. The 43 fire incidents in the year 2007 and 2008 recorded by Global Fire Management System were used to evaluate the results. The results show that the higher rank the region is, the larger is the probability for forest fire risk and higher the risk to spread the fire. Furthermore, according to the occurrence time of the fire incidents, the period of time from end of May to beginning of June was generalized as a dangerous period for forest fire risk in this study area. After analyzing and discussing, even if there might be some uncertainties caused by variable selection, resolution problem and weighting schemes, the results were generally reliable.

Full textAbstract:
O trabalho avalia a importância dos atributos que afetam a dinâmica da água subsuperficial, em 4 níveis de escala, para a região entre São Carlos e Ribeirão Preto, nordeste do Estado de São Paulo. A área é constituída, principalmente, por arenitos da formação Botucatu e basaltos da formação Serra Geral, recobertos por materiais inconsolidados, com espessura variando de 1 a 20 m. O estudo na escala 1:100.000 considerou 27 atributos, incluindo características dos materiais geológicos, geomorfologia, precipitações e fontes de contaminação. A técnica AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) foi utilizada para determinar o potencial relativo em termos de contaminação das águas subsuperficiais. Os resultados indicaram que o risco atual de contaminação das águas subsuperficiais é relativamente baixo, devendo ser analisado com maior detalhe para algumas bacias consideradas de risco mais acentuado. Foram realizados levantamentos em escala 1:10.000 e 1:20.000 para as bacias hidrográficas do córrego do Vaçununga (cidade de Luis Antônio) e Ribeirão do Tamanduá (próximo às cidades de Cravinhos e Serrana), respectivamente. Estas bacias foram selecionadas a partir do estudo em escala 1:100.000 devido as suas características ambientais. Foram selecionados 12 cenários de chuvas para avaliar a relação entre infiltração e escoamento superficial utilizando os modelos de infiltração de Morel - Seytoux & Khanji (1976) e Chu (1978). Os valores de descarga nos exutório e análise de recessão nestas bacias foram medidos por 2 anos. A bacia hidrográfica do córrego do esgoto (próximo a Ribeirão Preto) foi selecionada para a modelagem numérica (escala 1:1.000) por apresentar o maior índice potencial ao evento de contaminação das águas subsuperficiais na escala 1:100.000. A modelagem auxiliou na definição da direção do fluxo e indicou tendências de migração dos contaminantes oriundos do lixão instalado nesta bacia (modelagem de fluxo e de transporte).<br>This work presents the results obtained from integrated assessment of the attributes related to groundwater dynamic in 4 scales in the São Carlos and Ribeirão Preto region, northeast of State of São Paulo, Brazil. This area is constituted of sandstones of the Botucatu formation and basalt of the Serra Geral formation. Unconsolidated materials cover these rocks with thickness varying from 1 to 20 m. For 1:100.000 scale were considered 27 attributes of the geological materials, geomorphology, rainfall and pollutant sources. The AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was used to determine the relative degree in terms of groundwater contamination potential. The results show that the risk level for groundwater contamination is predominately low, and few basins are classified with high risk level. Studies were developed in 1:20.000 and 1:10.000 scales for córrego do Vaçununga (city of Luis Antônio) and ribeirão do Tamanduá (near to cities of Cravinhos e Serrana) basins, respectively. These basins were selected from the study in 1:100.000 scale due to environmental characteristics. It were considered 12 rainfall scenarios to evaluate the infiltration and overland flow rates using the Morel - Seytoux & Khanji (1976) and Chu (1978) model\'s, and recession and discharge rates were measured for 2 years. The córrego do esgoto basin (next to city of Ribeirão Preto) was selected for numerical modelling at 1:1.000 scale to simulate the groundwater flow and contaminantplumes, because it presented highest risk level in the 1:100.000 study.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-29<br>Outsourcing of logistics activities in the Brazil has been growing, allowing companies to direct efforts towards to their core activities and to obtain strategic gains due to the know-how of specialist companies and the possibility of reducing costs with the assets of the contracted company. Thus, tools that aid in the proper selection of suppliers can be important for the company to reach its goals. In this context, the purpose of this study is to apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the evaluation process and selection of a logistics services providers (LSP) for the courier delivery services company, analyzing qualitative and quantitative criteria that express the real needs of the parties, whose aim is to improve the indicators in terms of quality and customer satisfaction. The results indicated that the information technology, responsiveness and quality of management are the most relevant criteria for the contractor because of the need of preserving the enterprise reliability front of your customers and to remain competitive in the courier delivery services area. The results also showed that the criteria and method used could contribute for classification of LSP suitable for the service in terms of deadline, demand and traceability required for operational success. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out to assess the robustness of the decision. Finally, the proposed model proved to be a good alternative to support the decision on the selection of logistics providers for express charge, since the analysis of qualitative and quantitative criteria adhering to organizational practice, can lead to choosing companies that can meet the quality requirements of the sector.<br>A terceirização das atividades logísticas no Brasil vem crescendo, permitindo as empresas a direcionar os esforços no sentido de suas atividades principais e obter ganhos estratégicos devido ao know-how de empresas especializadas e a possibilidade de reduzir os custos com os ativos da empresa contratada.

Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar o uso do método de decisão multicritério Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) para a avaliação e seleção de provedores de serviços logísticos (PSLs) para empresas do segmento de cargas expressas analisando critérios qualitativos e quantitativos que expressam as reais necessidades das partes envolvidas, cujo intuito é melhorar os indicadores em termo de qualidade, prazo e satisfação dos clientes. Os resultados demonstraram que a tecnologia da informação, responsividade e a gestão da qualidade são os critérios mais relevantes para a contratante em razão da necessidade da preservação da confiabilidade da empresa frente a seus clientes e para manter-se competitiva no segmento de cargas expressas. Constatou-se que os critérios utilizados e o método contribuíram para a classificação de PSLs adequados para o atendimento em termos de prazo, demanda e rastreabilidade exigidos para o sucesso operacional. Uma análise de sensibilidade também foi desenvolvida para avaliar a robustez da decisão. O modelo proposto mostrou ser uma boa alternativa para apoio a decisão na seleção de fornecedores logísticos para carga expressa, uma vez que a análise de critérios qualitativos e quantitativos aderentes à prática organizacional, pode levar a escolha de empresas que possam atender as exigências de qualidade do setor.

É consenso entre estudiosos e práticos que a Logística desempenha um importante papel na integração da Cadeia de Suprimento dos mercados. Num ambiente cada vez mais competitivo, as organizações procuram práticas de negócios e soluções que possam ajudá-las na busca pelo sucesso. Uma dessas práticas é a terceirização das funções logísticas, através da contratação de empresas especializadas, de forma que as organizações contratantes possam se concentrar no foco do seu negócio, aumentando sua eficiência, melhorando a utilização dos recursos, reduzindo os custos de transporte, reestruturando sua cadeia de suprimentos e aumentando sua lucratividade. Nesse cenário, onde a crescente participação dos prestadores de serviços logísticos (ou, PSLs) torna-se fator estratégico para o crescimento das organizações através de alianças cada vez mais complexas, surge a necessidade de mecanismos de avaliação de desempenho que, efetivamente, reflitam a integração e a flexibilidade dos recursos envolvidos. Assim, o presente estudo se propôs a desenvolver um modelo de avaliação de desempenho de PSLs, através da metodologia da Pesquisa Operacional, apoiado pelo método AHP. A empresa escolhida para a aplicação do modelo foi a MWM International Motores – MIM – e o modelo foi aplicado no processo de transporte nacional que atende o mercado de reposição de peças. Foram avaliados 5 PSLs, através de 3 critérios e 13 atributos, qualitativos e quantitativos. Como principais resultados, verificou-se que a sistemática adotada foi aderente ao ambiente analisado, auxiliando no processo de avaliação e permitindo que a empresa possa estimular seus prestadores de serviços logísticos a melhorar seus processos e o produto destes processos – o próprio serviço prestado, traçando, juntamente com os seus parceiros, um plano de melhoria contínua que vise alcançar resultados melhores para a ambas empresas.<br>There is consensus among scholars and practitioners that Logistics plays an important role in the integration of the market’s Supply Chain. In an increasingly competitive environment, organizations seek solutions and business practices that can help them in their quest for success. One such practice is the outsourcing of logistics operations through the recruitment of specialized firms, so that the contracting organizations can focus on their business, increasing efficiency, improving resource utilization, reducing transportation costs, restructuring their supply chain and increasing their profitability. In this scenario, where the increasing participation of logistics service providers, known as 3PL (third-party logistics providers) becomes a strategic factor for the growth of organizations through increasingly complex alliances, a need arises for performance evaluation mechanisms that effectively reflect the integration and flexibility of the involved resources. Thus, the present study aims to develop a model to evaluate the performance of 3PLs using the methodology of operational research, supported by the AHP method. The company chosen to implement the model was MWM International Motores (MIM) and the model was applied in the national transport of the spare parts process. There were 5 LSPs evaluated using 3 criteria and 13 attributes, both qualitative and quantitative. The main results showed that the adopted system was considered adherent to the environment, assisting in the evaluation process, and allowing the company to encourage its 3PLs to improve their processes and products - the very service provided, mapping, together with its partners, a plan for continuous improvement aimed at achieving better results for both companies.

Previous issue date: 2015-03-10<br>CAPES<br>A gestão integrada da zona costeira (do inglês Integrated Coastal Zone Management – ICZM) envolve uma abordagem integrada de elementos naturais e antrópicos e deve ser organizada para minimizar os conflitos e utilizar os recursos de forma sustentável. O gerenciamento costeiro integrado pode ser considerado como um processo administrativo permanente onde as ações tomadas, podem ou não serem eficazes para uma comunidade, um estuário ou a costa de uma nação inteira. A partir da definição sobre ICZM e demais legislações brasileiras foram identificadas algumas possíveis variáveis para fazer parte de um modelo de avaliação da eficácia do gerenciamento costeiro integrado. A avaliação da eficácia foi determinada pela análise multicritério através do método Analytic Hierarchy Process – AHP, considerando níveis hierárquicos distribuídos em critérios sociais, econômicos e ambientais, totalizando 11 variáveis. Os critérios para estabelecer os pesos entre as variáveis, foram estabelecidos através de um questionário aplicado a um especialista em gerenciamento costeiro. A saída deste modelo representa um valor numérico, considerando a variação entre 0,000 e 1,000, onde a medida que a nota aumenta melhores são as condições associadas a gestão costeira integrada. Após desenvolvido o modelo analítico, dados amostrais considerando informações espaciais obtidas por sensoriamento remoto e estatísticas obtidas pelo censo do IBGE (2000 e 2010) foram aplicadas ao município da Ilha de Itamaracá-PE. Os resultados numéricos encontrados para este estudo de caso foram 0,344 e 0,401 para os anos de 2000 e 2010 respectivamente. Para analisar os resultados foram considerados um limiar mínimo e máximo da eficácia do gerenciamento costeiro integrado tendo como referência informações das variáveis encontradas para os municípios pertencentes a zona costeira de Pernambuco onde foram obtidos os valores 0,279 e 0,650 representando a variação mínima e máxima encontrada para este Estado. Por fim uma análise separada de cada variável foi efetuada através da construção de mapas temáticos e comparações de informações numéricas identificando assim, o comportamento individual de cada variável no modelo analítico. Destaca-se que a aplicação do método de avaliação multicritério AHP para este estudo de análise da eficácia do gerenciamento costeiro integrado demonstrou ser uma importante ferramenta para diagnosticar e fornecer subsídios à tomada de decisão em ambientes costeiros.<br>The Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) involves an integrated approach of natural and anthropic elements and it should be organized to minimize conflicts and apply resources in a sustainability way. The integrated coastal management can be considered as a permanent administrative process where the actions taken, may or may not be effective for a community, an estuary or the coast of an entire nation. From the definition of ICZM and other Brazilian laws was identified a number of possible variables to be part of an evaluation model for the effectiveness of integrated coastal zone management. The efficacy was determined by multi-criteria analysis using the method Analytic Hierarchy Process - AHP considering hierarchical levels distributed in social, economic and environmental criteria, a total of 11 variables. The criteria for establishing the weights between variables were established through an inquiry requested to a specialist in coastal management. The output of this model is a numerical value, considering the variation between 0.000 and 1.000, with the increasing of this score represents a better condition related to integrate coastal zone management. After the analytical model developed, sample data considering spatial information obtained by remote sensing and statistics obtained by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) census (2000 and 2010) were applied to the municipality of Itamaracá Island - PE. The numerical results for this case study were 0.344 and 0.401 for the years 2000 and 2010 respectively. To analyse the results were considered a minimum and maximum threshold of ICZM effectiveness having as reference information found for the variables considering all Pernambuco coastal zone municipalities, were was obtained 0.279 and 0.650 representing the minimum and maximum variation found for this state. Finally a separate analysis of each variable was performed by building thematic maps and numerical comparisons identifying the behaviour of each variable in the analytical model. It is noteworthy that the application of multi-criteria evaluation method AHP for this study case using ICZM effectiveness has proven to be an important tool to diagnose and provide subsidies to decision making in coastal environments.

O objetivo deste estudo é apontar o eletrodoméstico da linha branca que provavelmente pode sofrer reprocesso mais facilmente quando atinge seu efetivo fim do ciclo de vida útil, por ser julgado prioritário entre as variáveis de um canal de distribuição reverso. Para tanto, utilizou-se os conceitos da logística reversa juntamente com a aplicação do Método de Análise Hierárquica, modelo multicritério que deriva uma escala de prioridades a partir do julgamento subjetivo de especialistas. O estudo justifica-se pela necessidade de evitar que uma disposição final inadequada ocorra, devendo os bens de pós-consumo duráveis, categoria à qual os eletrodomésticos da linha branca pertencem, serem reintroduzidos na cadeia produtiva, para que os mesmos não resultem em resíduos sólidos descartados no meio ambiente e os recursos naturais sejam poupados. O método consiste na formulação e aplicação do Método de Análise Hierárquica a vinte especialistas de diferentes áreas. No processo de aplicação considerou-se a consistência dos julgamentos, para que o resultado final obtido se aproximasse ao máximo de uma situação real. Após tratamento dos dados, verificou-se que o refrigerador foi considerado o eletrodoméstico da linha branca prioritário para retornar aos locais de reprocesso através do canal de distribuição reverso, atingindo 70% da preferência nos vinte julgamentos, ou seja, o refrigerador foi a alternativa de decisão julgada prioritária por 14 especialistas. O resultado da análise conjunta apontou que o refrigerador obteve importância de 37,07%, seguido por microondas com importância de 23,73%, lavadora de roupas com importância de 21,37% e fogão com importância de 17,83%.<br>The aim of this study is to point the white line appliance that can easier undergo reprocessing when it reaches the end of its effective life cycle, by the priority among the variables of a reverse distribution channel. We used the concepts of reverse logistics with the Analytic Hierarchy Process, multicriteria model that derives a range of priorities from the subjective judgments of specialists. The study is justified by the avoidance of the improper final disposal of these kind of products, and the assets of post-consumer durable category that white goods belong to be reintroduced in the production chain, so that they do not result in solid waste discard in the environment and the natural resources are spared. The method consists by the formulation and application of Analytic Hierarchy Process to twenty specialists from different areas. During the implementation process the consistency of judgments were considered so that the final result would be closer to a real situation. After processing, it was found that the refrigerator was the priority appliance to return to reprocessing sites through reverse distribution channel, reaching 70% preference in the twenty trials, i.e., the refrigerator was the alternative priority decision judged by fourteen experts. The result of the combined analysis showed that the refrigerator achieved importance of 37.07%, followed by microwave importance of 23.73%, washing machines with the importance of 21.37% and the stove with importance of 17.83%.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-19<br>Nenhuma<br>A falta de uma relação quantitativa direta com o resultado da organização torna difícil a decisão sobre qual melhoria deve primeiro receber os recursos disponíveis. Por esta decisão ser uma tarefa difícil e dependente da experiência do gestor, o uso de métodos quantitativos como apoio a tomada de decisão pode torná-la mais assertiva. Este trabalho tem como objetivo explorar a metodologia de análise multicritério para priorização de melhorias intangíveis do processo produtivo, de forma alinhada com o posicionamento estratégico da organização. Para atender este objetivo, esta pesquisa propõe um modelo para priorização de melhorias intangíveis do processo produtivo, empregando a ferramenta estratégica SWOT para agrupar os fatores relevantes, em um cenário de melhoria de processo, para uma empresa do setor ceramista. Esses fatores foram agrupados em clusters e utilizados para construção de uma rede para representar as suas relações de dependência. Em virtude da dependência existente entre os fatores, foi aplicado o método multicritério Analytic Network Process (ANP) o qual analisa, conjuntamente, a influência dos fatores para a priorização de alternativas representadas por melhorias intangíveis em um ambiente produtivo. Tanto os fatores quanto a rede do problema foram definidos por uma equipe de análise composta por gestores e especialistas. Como resultado, apresenta a priorização das melhorias intangíveis, resultado da construção das matrizes não ponderada, ponderada e aplicação da propriedade de matriz limite. Através da realização de uma análise de sensibilidade aos pesos dos clusters, foi verificada a robustez da priorização obtida.<br>The lack of a direct quantitative relation with the result of the organization makes it difficult to decide which improvements must first receive the resources available. For this decision to be a difficult task and dependent on manager’s experience, the use of methods to support quantitative decision-making can make it more assertive. This study aims to explore the multi-criteria analysis methodology for prioritization of intangible improvements in the production process, in alignment with the strategic positioning of the organization. In order to achieve this objective, this research proposes a model for prioritization of intangible improvements in the production process, using the SWOT analysis tool for clustering the relevant factors in a process improvement scenario for a company of ceramist sector. These factors were clustered and used to build a network to represent their dependency relationships. Due to the interdependence of the factors, the multi-criteria method Analytic Network Process (ANP) was applied to analyze together, the influence of the factors for prioritizing alternative represented by intangible improvements in a productive environment. Both factors and problem network were defined by a team composed of managers and specialists. As a result, this research presents the prioritization of intangible improvements, as the result of the construction of unweighted and weighted matrices followed by the application of the limit process of the weighted matrix. By performing a sensitivity analysis to the weights of the clusters, the robustness of the obtained prioritization has been verified.

Full textAbstract:
For the last decades, numerous researchers have studied housing preferences of populations. However, very few researchers put highlight on young adults in Sweden and their housing preference. From a Swedish perspective, it is worthwhile to investigate housing preferences of young adults as the populationof young adults is consistently growing and their roles as dynamic consumers are crucial in the housing market. This thesis aims to examine housing preference of young adults aged 18 to 30 in largest cities in Sweden by comparison to older age groups. By identifying housing attributes highly valuedby the young adults, the research shall provide guideline to practitioners withfuture housing development to attract the young generation. The research is a quantitative study with application of a survey method. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method forms a foundation of thequestionnaire design, enabling to observe young adults’ trade-off decisionsamong multiple housing attributes. Total 767 responses are collected and the responses with valid consistency ratio (CR) are selectively used in the analysis.The result demonstrates that young adults have high preference for ‘low price’,‘proximity to public transportation’, ‘balcony’, ‘feeling of safety’ and ‘proximity to work or school’ in a housing decision. On the contrary, they show little interest in ‘neighborhood environment’ and ‘sustainable aspects’ of an apartment in general. In comparison with older age groups, young adults have higher preference for the proximity of an apartment and having a dishwasher;yet their preferences for ‘cleanliness’, ‘green space’ and ‘separate kitchen’ of adwelling are lower than the older generation. The practitioners shall keep these findings in mind when planning and designing apartments for the young consumers.<br>De senaste decennierna har åtskilliga forskare undersökt boendepreferenser hos befolkningen i ett flertal olika länder. Trots detta finns det väldigt fåforsknings-rapporter som sätter fokus på unga vuxna i Sverige och derasboendepreferenser. Ur ett svenskt perspektiv är det viktigt att undersökaboendepreferenserna för denna folkgrupp. Detta eftersom unga vuxnas befolkningen konstant växer och deras dynamiska roll som konsumenter är livsviktiga för bostadsmarknaden. Denna rapport siktar på att, genomjämförelse med äldre åldersgrupper, undersöka boendepreferenser hos unga vuxna mellan 18 och 30 som bor i Sveriges största städer. Genom att identifierade egenskaper som är högt värderade av de unga vuxna, ämnar forskningen attge riktlinjer till framtida bostadsutveckling för att attrahera den unga generationen. Denna studie är av typen kvantitativ forskning, med surveyundersökning som vetenskaplig metod. Den metod som utformningen av frågeformulären bygger på är analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Metoden används för att observera unga vuxnas avvägning kring många olika boendeegenskaper. Totalt är 767 svarinsamlade varav de svar som har en giltig consistency ratio används i analysen.Resultatet visar att unga vuxna starkt föredrar egenskaper som ‘lågt pris’,‘närhet till kollektivtrafik’, ‘balkong’, ‘säkerhetskänsla’ och ‘närhet till skola eller jobb”. Vidare visar undersökningen att egenskaper som ”grannskapsmiljö”och ”hållbarhetsaspekter” generellt inte prioriteras högt. Vid jämförelse medäldre åldersgrupper har unga vuxna större intresse av lägenhetens läge samt ifall lägenheten har diskmaskin. Unga vuxnas preferenser för ‘renhet’, ‘grönaytor’ och ‘separat kök’ är däremot lägre än preferenserna kring sammaegenskaper hos de äldre generationerna. Bostadsutvecklare borde väga in dessa upptäckter vid planering och design av lägenheter för unga konsumenter.

Full textAbstract:
There are more and more people watching video streams over the Internet, and this has led to an increase in companies that compete for viewers. To improve the users experience, these companies can measure how their services are performing. The aim of this thesis was to recommend a way to measure the quality of service for a real time video streaming service. Three methods were presented; to buy the information from a content delivery network, extend existing analytics software or build a custom solution using packet sniffing. It was decided to extend existing analytics software. An evaluation was made on which software to extend. Four solutions were compared: Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Ooyala IQ and Piwik. The comparison was made using the analytic hierarchy process, comparing each alternative in their performance in criteria such as API maturity, flexibility, visualization and support. The recommended software to extend when building a real time video streaming service is Ooyala IQ which excel at flexibility and is easy to implement into existing solutions. It also had great capacity, offering no limit on how many events it can track per month, and finally it offers great dedicated support via telephone or email.<br>Det finns fler och fler personer som tittar på video strömmar på Internet, detta har lett till att nya företag har startats som konkurerar om tittare. För att förbättra kundupplevelsen kan man mäta hur tjänsten presterar. Målet med examensarbetet var att rekommendera hur man kan mäta tjänstekvalite för en realtidsvideoströmningstjänst. Tre olika lösningsförslag presenterades; att köpa informationen från en content delivery network, att bygga vidare på tillgängliga analytisk mjukvara eller att bygga ett eget paketsniffarprogram. Det bestämdes att bygga vidare på tillgänglig analytisk mjukvara. Fyra olika mjukvara jämfördes: Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Ooyala IQ och Piwik. Jämförelsen gjordes med hjälp av analytical hierarchy process, de olika alternativen jämfördes med avseende på: hur moget API:et var, flexibilitet, visualiseringen av data och support. Rekommendationen är att använda sig av Ooyala IQ som utmärker sig med avseende på flexibilitet, det var enkelt att använda deras API i sin egen lösning, det fanns ingen gräns på hur många händelser man kunde lagra per månad, och slutligen så fanns det dedikerad supportpersonal att nå via telefon eller email.

Previous issue date: 2014-03-20<br>The main purpose of this dissertation is to propose a methodology framework using multicriteria decision-making method, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to define the configuration of logistics operations at the distribution centers in the Brazilian retail market. This framework is based on an approach in which the choice of operational alternatives used in the internal activities of a distribution center (receiving, storage, picking and shipping) depend on the distribution strategy as well as the attributes and requirements of the business environment of the company. In order to develop this work, a bibliographic research has been performed in the following fields: logistics and distribution strategy, functions, activities and management of distribution centers and decision-making. It has been carried out interviews in the research field with the high management representatives from large logistics providers with the aim of determining which business requirements might be considered in the approach. The interviews have been also important to determine the preferences and weights to the attributes used for decision-making. The proposed framework has been also used in a case study in order to validate the attributes and has served too as a basis to compare the preferences of the managers of the logistic providers and of the manager of the studied company, regarding the configuration of the logistic operations. This framework has been validated, the preferences among decision makers have been similar, except at the weight between the attributes of operational and investment costs. In general, this framework has validated the results and has proved to be a useful tool to support decision-making process in a real situation and also has generated scenarios and sensitivity analysis to the decision maker.<br>O objetivo geral desta dissertação é propor uma estrutura metodológica utilizando um método de tomada de decisão multicritério, o Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a fim de configurar a operação logística em centros de distribuição que atende o mercado varejista brasileiro. Esta estrutura está baseada em uma abordagem na qual a escolha das alternativas operacionais utilizadas nas atividades internas de um centro de distribuição (recebimento, armazenagem, separação e expedição) depende da estratégia de distribuição, bem como dos atributos e requerimentos de negócio do ambiente da empresa. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica relacionada à estratégia de distribuição, funções, atividades e gerenciamento de centros de distribuição, e, à abordagem de tomada de decisão. Na pesquisa de campo foram realizadas entrevistas com representantes da alta gerência de grandes operadores logísticos com a finalidade de determinar quais os requerimentos de negócio que deveriam ser considerados na configuração. As entrevistas também foram importantes para determinar as preferências e os pesos dos atributos utilizados para a tomada de decisão. A proposta de configuração foi ainda utilizada em um estudo de caso como meio de validação dos atributos e serviu, também, de base de comparação entre as preferências dos gestores de operadores logísticos e do gestor da empresa estudada, no tocante à configuração das operações logísticas. A aplicação da proposta de configuração foi validada e as preferências entre todos os decisores foram parecidas, exceto no peso entre os atributos de custo operacional e investimento. No geral, a proposta de configuração validou os resultados e se mostrou útil como uma ferramenta de suporte na tomada de decisão em uma situação real, além de permitir a geração de cenários e análises de sensibilidade para o tomador de decisão.

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>土木與防災研究所<br>99<br>Once an accident occurs on the metro transportation system, nearby neighbors or business buildings are faced with great danger. In addition, the loss for the manufacturers and engineering organization units is hard to estimate. For example, in 1994, the Xindien metro line, caused a collapse in the Linkou area because of the construction where over 150 families and citizens had their houses damaged. Also in 2004, Kaohsiung’s red metro line, R10 exit, diaphragm wall piping was empty and caused nearby roads to collapse.
According to history, the accidents that have occurred while the metro line is being built have been workers falling, electrified, rammed, reeled, and clamped, objects collapsing, fire disaster, hazardous substances contact, and more. Professional analysis of the metro construction accident cases have figured out why the metro construction accidents through interviews, questionnaires filled out by experts, and additional analysis (AHP). Hopefully, through the professional’s discussion and analysis, they can provide the engineering organization unit and manufacturers with answers and effectively decrease or eliminate the accidents from happening.

碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>資訊管理研究所<br>100<br>High accuracy of market surveys is critical because it often determines the marketing directions and strategies of a company. However, most customers are not clear to know what they really need. For company, it is hard to design or sell the appropriate products to customers if they could realize their demand. This paper applies Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and image-based presentation to questionnaire design to give users instant alternative feedback with what they really need. From user decision-making behavior aspect, humans tend to make a more accurate preference decision in pair-wise factor comparison with precisely scoring to every factor. Furthermore, image-based presentations allow humans to imagine and visualize their real preference, and thus increase the accuracy and reliability of recommendations. In brief, this model focuses on improving the products’ reliability, performing real-time analysis, and increasing the purchasing intention. To evaluate the reliability of the model, the sample results pass the following tests: Cronbach’s Alpha test and pearson test. We verify all hypotheses by descriptive statistics, and T-test values of sample results show that users agree the statements of questions

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>土木與防災研究所<br>99<br>Nowadays, the density of the structures has been greater than before; the probability of the fire accident has been increased accordingly. Compared the main reason of the fire accidents between domestic and overseas, it shows we paid more attention on the facility than the concept of fire prevention. Means, the ability to deal with the fire prevention is kind of weak. Meanwhile, once there was the fire accident occurred when lacking of fire-fighting equipment, it might caused significant number of casualties.
The main propose of this paper is to measure the relative research and discussion based on documentary analysis, data collection method, statistical analysis, and Analytic Hierarchy Process. To collect the relative documents, such as the management of fire safety equipment, maintenance of the fire safety equipment, the topic of using the fire safety software…etc.
The final statistics analysis and AHP has great deviation. The data illustrates that instead of the technical problems, which pointed up by the professors and the scholars, such as pump operate failure and the failure of fire alarm detector, most of the problems for the fire safety equipments are just some small issues. For example, lack of the sign, not suspensor, the marker lights failure …etc. To sum up, since the serious fire accident of Welcome Restaurant in 1995, the fire safety equipment maintenance system has helped to improve a lot of problems. If there was one hundred percent reporting during the maintenance processes, the damage from the fire accident can be much lower.

In Taiwan tourism became so prosper when the government decide to open the door to millions of Chinese tourist to visit Taiwan. In order to help the tourism business, job training and recruit more talent people to join the business has become one of the critical factor to increase individual company’s competition advantage. Therefore, how to evaluate and choose people has become one of the significant lesson that companies has to learn.
The research uses AHP to establish the index to evaluate professional tour guide, and travel agency. First of all, we have set up five levels of evaluation by collection data and expert’s opinion. These five levels are: 1.knowledge, 2.skill, 3.self-concept, 4.characteristic and 5.motivation. There are 43 items was developed to evaluate applicants’ capability. We then use AHP to be the standard of calculation. At the last step, we set up a simulation to test the feasibility of our new evaluation method. The finding in this research has shows that the model can make the evaluation more objective and rationality. Thus, it can be helpful to the tourism company to offer the best people in the right position.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>資訊管理學系所<br>96<br>The price of property has increased so acutely that makes many people signs because they can not afford to purchase a house. For most of people, purchasing a house is one of the most important decisions they will make because of the huge amount of money. Avoiding making the beautiful dream become nightmare, the purchaser should gather information as careful as they can.
In order to fit purchaser’s whole needs of dwelling, the decision should be make through completely choosing process. The option of the dwelling depends heavily on competent information which should afford the cost of collection. Considering the information and chance cost, a prototype based on intelligent agent is built to achieve the goal of saving time and power.
Under the limitation of time and budget, Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied to find important elements which influence purchasing dwelling strategies first and try to construct the prototype based on intelligent agent in this research. The result could be used by the builder, estate agents who make up selling strategies and the investors，purchasers who make shopping strategies. Furthermore, the suggestions are made to this research in order to offer references to further researches.
