“…Risk management is usually a team effort, and the AHP is one available method for forming a systematic framework for group interaction and group decision-making (Saaty 1982). Dyer and Forman (1992) describe the advantages of AHP in a group setting as follows: (1) both tangibles and intangibles, individual values and shared values can be included in an AHP-based group decision process, (2) the discussion in a group can be focused on objectives rather than alternatives, (3) the discussion can be structured so that every factor relevant to the discussion is considered in turn and (4) in a structured analysis, the discussion continues until all relevant information from each individual member in a group has been considered and a consensus choice of the decision alternative is achieved. A detailed discussion on conducting AHP-based group decision-making sessions including suggestions for assembling the group, constructing the hierarchy, getting the group to agree, inequalities of power, concealed or distorted preferences, and implementing the results can be found in Saaty (1982) and Golden et al (1989).…”

“…Then, all criteria and indicators were organised in a hierarchical structure in order to break them down into a form which better corresponds to the human cognitive mode, so that they can be assessed easily and logically (Dyer and Forman 1992;Saaty 1980). The processes of grouping the criteria and identifying the words used to represent each group of criteria were based upon the explicit and/or underlying features of the criteria.…”

The assessment of corporate sustainability has become an increasingly important topic, both within academia and in industry. For manufacturing companies to conform to their commitments to sustainable development, a standard and reliable measurement framework is required. There is, however, a lack of sector-specific and empirical research in many areas, including the sugar industry. This paper presents an empirically developed framework for the assessment of corporate sustainability within the Thai sugar industry. Multiple case studies were conducted, and a survey using questionnaires was also employed to enhance the power of generalisation. The developed framework is an accurate and reliable measurement instrument of corporate sustainability, and guidelines to assess qualitative criteria are put forward. The proposed framework can be used for a company's self-assessment and for guiding practitioners in performance improvement and policy decision-making.

“…This implies that when a group uses the AHP, their judgements can be synthesized into a single judgement according to the geometric mean. For detailed discussion on how to organize group decision making with AHP, including, suggestions for assembling a group, constructing the hierarchy, getting the group to agree, and implementing the results, see Saaty [35], Dyer and Forman [36], and Golden et al [37]. For the industrial application of AHP in-group decision making, see Islei et al [38].…”

Forming teams: an analytical approach

The selection of multi-functional teams is a key issue in problem solving. Currently there are no papers in the literature that discuss analytical approaches to forming teams. Furthermore, no comprehensive model exists to prioritize team membership based on customer requirements or product characteristics. To deal with the underlying complexities of the team selection process, a methodology for team formation is developed. The methodology is based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach and the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. A QFD planning matrix is used to organize the factors considered in the team selection. The importance measure for each team member is determined with the AHP approach. A mathematical programming model is developed to determine the composition of a team. The methodology developed in this paper is tested by the selection of teams in concurrent engineering. A detailed discussion of the model implementation and how to reduce the number of comparisons in the AHP process is presented. Possible modi®cations of the model to include``soft factors'', i.e., leadership, morale, personalities of group members, group values and so on are also discussed.
