Applying fuzzy extended analytical hierarchy (FEAHP) for selecting logistics software

This paper shows fuzzy extended analytical hierarchy (FEAHP) applied to a warehouse management system (WMS) in a Colombian shipyard regarding selecting pertinent logistics software. The FEAHP method has been widely used for resolving decision-making problems where many quantitative and qualitative factors and variables are required. However the most important criticism of this method concerns the impossibility of including value judgments not on a continuous scale but rather on a discrete one which can be solved by fuzzy logic. This problem was resolved by using the fuzzy logic extension of the AHP method proposed by Chang in 1996 which was adapted for a specific context regarding a Colombian shipyard.
