The Design Preferences Decision Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process towards Kansei Engineering Approach: Spectacles Design

This study is focused on how to measure and find out the most preference design using AHP concept. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches used towards the Kansei words are developed through the questionnaire based on the scale of Kansei Semantic Differential (SD). The study is carried out towards 100 students engineering courses whose wear the spectacles. The results data shown that the decision outcome using the AHP approaches of Row Geometric Mean Method (RGMM) and Eigenvector Method (EM) is a little bit different, that is 10 out of 100 or 10%. The discussion toward the characteristics of the design preference made (Design no. 2) and what the Kansei words related to the design priority.
