The prioritization of R&D projects in the Aerospace Sector is considered a complex problem because it involves qualitative and quantitative issues that are frequently conflicting. This paper aimed to apply the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method with ratings to select projects of R&D in a Brazilian aerospace institution, Department of Science and Aerospace Technology (DCTA). The results showed that using ratings is appropriate when there is a great quantity of projects, since it reduces the judgments required to the decision maker.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
