Abstract

This paper projects the implementation and application of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process and the six steps of implementation are discussed. Fuzzy AHP and its necessity and related concepts like alpha cut are structured in this paper. In the Fuzzy Extent Analysis method and α-cut based method, FAHP is described to obtain a crisp priority vector from a triangular fuzzy comparison matrix. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which especially is based on pair-wise comparisons on a ratio scale. In this present research, initially, the criteria for selection of logistics service providers (7PL) have been identified and an integrated model based on their inter-relationship has been developed with the help of consigner.

Keywords
