A web-based decision support system for multi-criteria inventory classification using fuzzy AHP methodology

We propose an inventory classification system based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a commonly used tool for multi-criteria decision making problems. We integrate fuzzy concepts with real inventory data and design a decision support system assisting a sensible multi-criteria inventory classification. We report on a study conducted in a small electrical appliances company and validate the design of the proposed multi-criteria inventory classification system and its underlying fuzzy AHP model.
