EVALUATION CRITERIA OF THE BELT CONVEYOR USING THE AHP METHOD AND SELECTION THE RIGHT CONVEYOR BY HURWITZ METHOD

The subject of the research paper is evaluation of different criteria that ought to be taken into consideration while deciding about conveyor type. Analythical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a well known multicriteria analysis method in evaluation of criteria. Five experts in the field of conveyor transport have been consulted and according to that evaluation was performed. After that, Hurwitz method was used on the particular case including some of the subcriterias of evaluated criteria by the experts and the best solution of the belt conveyor has been selected.
